Highly destinctive original pictorial covers in primary colours of yellow, red, green and blue, titled in dark blue, with paper over thick card cut flush, front and back, but just paper over the spine area which is given to wrinkling due to being just stuck directly onto the gathers. The spine is a bit grubby/rubbed, but all titling/illustration clear. Internally there is a list of titles in the Tippenny-Tuppenny series (32 listed) inside the upper cover and on the front free endpaper. But a b/w Illustration of toys inside the rear cover. No pagination (but circa 44 thick pages). Full page b/w frontispiece - no note of the illustrator but typical of the illustrators of that period, numerous other charming b/w illustrations throughout the book but those are not 'signed' either . The frontispiece and 5 other illustrations have been coloured in by a child. There are splits between the 3 gathers but the book is tight and clean otherwise, with NO Inscriptions or other marks. A charming example of an early child's 20th Century Miniature book. A delightful tale of a 'best pets' school competition and how the scruffiest dog won. Overall Good Plus to near VG.
