Old Mother Middle Muddle by Bill Martin Jr.

Hardcover, 30 pages. From the author of Brown bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?and Whistle Mary Whistle.

Very cute book. Old Mother goes for tea and a cookie, the mouse gets the crumbs, the cat gets the mouse, the dog gets the cat..........and so on.

In overall good condition, this is an old library book from a school. Found at the estate of the owner who was a schoolteacher. As happens with old books at schools, teachers get to pick from the old books they are discarding. Marked on the inside cover, "Mims Elem. School" and has a boy's name and the number 2. This first page also has a large corner fold. There is no other writing in the book that I see, no torn pages.

The binding looks good, the front and back covers have signs of age with scuffs, some the pages have some discoloration and foxing/age stains.
