The book could be considered Good if not for the damaged corner on the spine. Perhaps a small piece of duct tape could improve the looks. I chose to proceed with listing it, because other than a stray ink mark, this is the only significant damage and the book is selling for much more in other locations. This is a 1991 edition. See pictures for everything. The story is great. It is about a little girl eagerly waiting for her big sister to come home from school. She plays school, prepares a surprise for her big sister and wairs for her return. The illustrations are lovely.
