A binding error has left the first couple of pages of the book repeated (so you get more of the lovely color pictures of Robin Jacques!), otherwise a very good copy indeed with just a hint of browning to edges and a very slight bump to top of spine. There's a "Snipp, Snapp, Snurr" story from Maj Lindman, a piece on mushrooms, a long section adapted from "A Book of Famous Dogs", and a look at the Hawaiian Islands. This volume, number 25 in the series, contains the work of some notable artists: Richard Scarry, Robin Jacques, Ruth Ives, Phoebe Erickson, and Barbara Cooney. Most notable about this series was the use of some excellent illustrators.
Each volume also contained some non-fiction, including a biographical piece on a famous person, and a short description of a country. There could be quite lengthy stories, or short verses. The stories could be adapted classics, fairy tales, or new stories. Each volume contained an excellent mixture of ten to twelve pieces, each illustrated by a different artist and taken from a variety of sources. "Best in Children's Books" was a series of 42 volumes published between 19.
