Item Description
See previous item #1541. From same publisher, ©1961. Book also features art by Vojtech Kubasta. Flip-out page features nice illustrations of Christmas toys and decorations w/center featuring lined area to write Christmas list. When opened, large Christmas scene w/snow-covered house pops up, w/pop-up carolers, snowman, Christmas tree and Santa's sleigh w/reindeer. Santa Claus is seen w/sack full of toys over his shoulder as he enters house. Die-cut window (w/cellophane windows) in house allows for viewing of inner room w/stockings hung on mantle. Die-cut front cover features separate piece that attaches behind main cover. This piece acts as tip of Santa's beard, and when moved, stuffed toy pops up over Santa's shoulder, crescent moon lowers and Santa's eyes appear to move. Bottom center has two small .25" slices to beard, one of which goes through all inner pages and onto interior of back cover, though not through. Cover has corner tip wear w/some creasing and is evenly aged but remains clean and Fine/VF overall. Aside from first slice, interior pages are Exc. See following items #1544-1545.
