Author/illustrator Dorothy Kunhardt was a force of nature and wrote, illustrated, and often hand-lettered, such popular books as Pat the Bunny. Issued just two years following Pat the Bunny, The Telephone Book…like its predecessor…came in its own box and featured interactive elements. Here, a child can manipulate two telephones, feel a real plastic bowl (a first printing point, eliminated in later printings), pull a cover up over a sleeping baby, open an envelope containing a letter to a soldier and mail the same in a postal box. In remarkably complete and About Fine condition in original VG box. Acid discoloration on the page with the soldier’s envelope and a small crack on the back boards. A pre-iPhone classic!
