Little wear to book or jacket. For some reason, the dust jacket was once glued to the endpapers. The front flap has since come loose, but he rear flap is still securely glued. There is also a stain inside the front cover on the free endpaper, possibly more of the glue. The deckle-edged pages are clean and tight. This is the third of eleven stories featuring Alvirah and Willy.

The cover of this rare old book has come loose from the book and is in two pieces. This small guide is intended to help plan children's parties around a number of themes, including New Years, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and more. Each party plan comes with a number of recipes and a beautiful full-page, full-color illustration by the well-known artist Frances Tipton Hunter. Many recipes specify the use of Calumet Baking Powder, so I presume that they were a sponsor of this publication (Additional copies were available for 10 cents with a coupon from your Calumet can, or 50 cents without.) This is a fairly rare book.

This book was put out by Frederick and Nelson, a long time retailer of clothing and household goods in the Pacific Northwest, until it went out of business in 1992. The book is a story about Freddy, a teddy bear and his Christmas. The book ends with a selection of simple Christmas tunes that could be played on the little electronic piano included in the book. The battery for that piano is now dead, sadly, and I am not sure if it can be replaced.
