New York, New York, U.S.A.: E. P. Dutton and Company, 1974. 48 pages. Stated first edition with complete number line. Lightly marked exlibrary copy. Bound in green cloth with design of an ant in reddish-brown on front, titling on spine. Very light rubbing to extremities with minor colour loss; faint traces of tape marks to boards. Green endpapers tape stained. Discreet school inkstamps to prelims, pocket to rear endpaper. Binding is tight, text and illustrations clean and bright. Dust jacket is price-clipped, laminated, appears clean and free of wear, discoloration at former site of spine label. Jean George's dramatic yet accurate story of the adventures of a small ant crossing a sidewalk "proves that a trip to the country is not necessary to observe nature". Every page is illustrated in colour, but all the illustrations are contained in three paintings reprinted at the end of the book -- and trying to find the source of each illustration is a fascinating activity in itself for children.
