Before there was Dick, Jane, Sally and Spot, there was Nip and Tuck, the antic dog duo created by Grace E. Storm and beautifully illustrated by Vera Stone Norman.

Published in 1936 by Lyons & Carnahan, this delightful children's early reader book is packed with color illustrations suitable for framing.

The book is in fair condition. Donald wrote his name in pencil near the upper left corner of the book's cover and again across the back cover. The inside cover has a hand-written inscription, "District 225 Sept. 1938." The cloth tape on the binding is peeling off. The corners are worn and bumped. There are two small holes on the cover that go through to the first page of the book. A few of the illustrations have light soiling. As a librarian, I shake a little bit to say this, but this book is a cutter. The illustrations would make a wonderful series of framed colorful prints in a nursery or children's playroom.

Book measures approximately 7 3/4" x 5 1/2".
