A Very Good copy of the First edition of this experimental little book bound in actual rabbit fur.  The most whimsically designed book by children's author Margaret Wise Brown, with illustrations by Garth Williams.  This book began as a handmade production by Brown herself, a quaint production containing a miniature book tucked into real rabbit fur; a small, warm and fuzzy item for a child's bedside table.  A well-preserved copy, though the publisher's illustrated box which housed the little furry volume is missing.

The book tells the story of a little fur family that live in a tree trunk in the woods.  The story showcases the little fur child as he leaves his house and explores the surrounding woods for the day.  He encounters other creatures like him, as well as others that are very different, such as a fish and a flying bug.  At the end of the day he returns home to dinner with his parents who then tuck him in and sing him to sleep.

First edition, with full rabbit fur covers.
