To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of two-time Caldecott winner Barbara Cooney's best-loved book, Viking has reoriginated the illustrations, going back to the original art to ensure state-of-the-art reproduction of Cooney's exquisite artwork. The art for Miss Rumphius has a permanent home in the Bowdoin College Museum of Art., A beloved classic is lovelier than ever!

      Excellent ! This was a wonderful transaction that I had with the seller. With the purchased of these many books, the seller put them in a cardboard box for protection . The quality of these books are exactly as described, and the condition was new . I received my purchase quickly and I had a quick response from seller when I had a question. I would purchase again from seller. Thank you for your kind service.

      Good seller, shipped fast. Little problem with the box it was shipped in. It was packed with these books & 2 others & had come open in shipping. The Post Office put some heavy white tape to hold it together & there was small damage to some of the items, not anything to really complain about. I wanted all these items & I appreciate the discount that was given. Will buy from again & tell the Shipping Dept. to be careful about over-loading the box. Blessings.

    • Such a sweet, important message

      This book has so many followers, that there is a teacher's guide for it. The message that Miss Rumphius searches for a way to make the world a more beautiful place is one we should all take to heart. My grown daughter reads this from time to time as a reminder to shine during dark times and she now has a copy for her own child to read.

    • Beautiful illustrations, good message

      Not too long for a bedtime story and had engaging illustrations. Kids really enjoyed the message about finding one's own purpose and leaving the Earth more beautiful than you enter it. Appropriate for 10 and under.
