Beginner Books:  1966. <\/p>\n<p><b> Pages#:  <\/b>64 pages. <\/p>\n<p><b> Book Description:  <\/b>Color illustrated boards wrapped in matching dust jacket. An early book in the groundbreaking Beginner Book series, written specifically to help children learn to read while simultaneously engaging and entertaining them.

Embraced by the public for 58 years with tens of thousands of copies sold. Phleger was a nationally recognized marine biologist. Ward Brackett was a successful illustrator for magazines and paperbook book covers for decades. Little pop culture appeal.<\/p>\n<p>The Collectibility of a first edition American picturebook is comprised of specific factors, as explained in detail at <a href=\"https:\/\/1stedition.net\/?pg=\/factors\/index.\">Factors Affecting Collectibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Scarcity<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Collect ibility<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Illust.<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">1st Early Late<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Author<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Awards<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Pop Culture<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Copies Sold<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: white; background-color: black; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Fran chise<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">7<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">5<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">5<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">2<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">1<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 2.5vmin; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3> Scarcity Context  <\/h3>\n<p>The first edition book in its original first edition DJ is Scarce to Uncommon: There were no first editions found in the March 2024 survey.
