Young Scott Books were among the most innovative and notable publications for children of the mid-century. Many famous authors and illustrators (Margaret Wise Brown among them) contributed to the Young Scott catalog. Pitter Patter is a sought-after title with nearly perfect prose and pictures, ideal to introduce the very young to the pleasures of rain. Soft, double-page, pastel illustrations by Charles G. Shaw depict most everything getting wet in a rainstorm…except the small boy with an umbrella. A first edition with an added half-sheet from the publisher attached to the title page in VG+ condition with a bit of external wear.
