Bill Martin Jr. ~ Sal Murdocca
Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1970
Now, nothing saddens me more than a WITHDRAWN library book that is a first edition, more than forty years old, crisp and seemingly uncracked, with a book card in the back without one, single signature or stamp. To think of all the years that little book sat on the shelf, untouched and unread, only to be chucked years later in the discard pile.
This one's a tiny book, so I imagine once it was shelved, it was lost behind other larger, more exciting titles and always overlooked. All I can say is the kids at the Hill Country Montessori School really missed out.


I sing.
I run.
I wing.
I skip.
I jump.
I hop.
I hump.
