The Christmas Pinata.

New York, NY Parents' Magazine Press , 1975. Hardcover First Edition (1975), unstated. First Edition (1975), unstated, in accordance with Parents' Magazine Press's customary practice at the time of publication. Very Good+ in Good DJ: The Book shows light wear to the extremities, a little heavier at the lower corner tips; a former owner's gift inscription at the decorated front free endpaper; the binding leans ever so slightly, but remains secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing mild wear and minor flaws. The DJ shows a large tear effectively, if inexpertly, repaired at the rear panel and some wear, tear, and loss to the extremities; a faint patch of stlicker residue at the front panel; the price has been clipped; mylar-protected to prevent further damage. Clean and attractive, but shows some wear and a major flaw. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Oblong 8vo. (7.45 x 10.45 x 0.25 inches). 34 pages. Illustrated by the author with charming color illustrations. Language: English. Weight: 12.4 ounces. Hardback with DJ. Children love this story of two pots, one broken from its beginning, but ultimately used to bring pleasure to children; the other useful in serving its creator until it too becomes a heap of satisfied broken bits. I used "The Christmas Pinata" for many years in my holiday curriculum. It has become increasingly harder to find a local library that still has a copy.
