The dust jacket, text and illustrations (and placement of text and illustrations) all vary significantly from that of the First Edition, first printing. Most notable are the following: (a) the author's name appears at the lower front panel of the dust jacket (unlike the First Edition), (b) the illustration on the title page is different than that of the First Edition, first printing. and (c) the placement of text is swapped from the left to the right side (and vice versa) on about half of the two-page spreads. Most interestingly, the text has been tipped-in next to each of the illustrations rather than having been printed onto the page. One of probably only a few mocked-up copies produced for use at Houghton Mifflin. An extraordinary, visceral and attractive early version of a book that has become a children's Christmas classic. Basis for the 2004 animated motion picture starring Tom Hanks.All items shipped from Royal Books are fully insured at no extra cost, and an item may be returned for any reason within 14 days for a full refund.
