Chicago: The George M. Hill Company, 1900. First edition Hard Cover Very Good
The 2nd Father Goose collaboration between Denslow and Baum; the first book published in 1899. Although the relationship between these two great artists was tenuous; they produced the perfect mixture of illustrated verse for a child's whimsical imagination.

Some titles include: The Ostrich Dance; Tick-Tock; Baby Found a Feather; The Jack-Lantern; Baby Pulled a Pussey's Tail; There Was a Whale; Who's Afraid?; Why?; 26 in all. ''Little Bare Legs'': Little Barelegs runs and races all the day; Birds and Butterflies she chases far away. In the brook she wades, and wishes...She could hook the little fishes...Just to cook them in her dishes..while at play''.
