Abstract

en_US A typical small kids' book version. It concentrates nicely on the city mouse's upturned nose at one kind of food after another. And then there is a succession of intruders: the cook, some dogs, and the cat. Nice watercolor pictures. To my surprise, I have found six different versions of this book, distinguished chiefly by the number at the lower right of the back cover, the listing of other Tell-a-Tales on the back cover, printing of a price on the front cover, printing of a Tell-a-Tales logo, and indication of copyright on the title-page. Copy A is one of several with the number #2617. It has a Tell-a-Tale mark on both covers, shows no price, lists religious stories as a group on its back cover, and shows on its title-page Copyright ©1965 by Whitman Publishing Company. Curiously, it fails to list itself among the members of the series on the back cover. It has ten Original Stories and ten Stories About Your TV and Movie Friends. It cost $1 at Delevan Booksellers in December, '86. Copy B is identical and continues not to list itself on the back cover. It has eleven Original Stories and eleven Stories About Your TV and Movie Friends. It cost $.65 at Renaissance in Milwaukee. Copy C is identical but now lists itself on the back cover among Old Favorite Stories. It has twelve Original Stories and twelve Stories About Your TV and Movie Friends. It cost $1 at Hawthorne Blvd. Books in Portland. Copy D has #2565 and is alike but does not list religious stories as a group on the back cover, nor does it list this as one of eight Old Favorite Stories. This statement now appears on its title-page: Copyright ©MCMLXV Western Publishing Company. Whitman is a registered trademark of Western Publishing Company, Inc. It cost $1 in Milwaukee in August, '96. Copy E has #2561 and is alike but has no Tell-a-Tale mark on its covers, shows a price of 35¢ on its cover, does not list itself as one of five Old Favorite Stories, and shows on its title-page Copyright ©MCMLXV Western Publishing Company. Whitman and TELL-A-TALE are registered trademarks of Western Publishing Company, Inc. The title-page adds a copyrighted Whitman logo. It cost $1 at an Omaha flea market in March, '90. Copy F has #2561 is alike but changes four of the five Old Favorite Stories and all five Educational Stories. Its title-page shows Copyright ©MCMLXV Western Publishing Company. Whitman and TELL-A-TALE are registered trademarks of Western Publishing Company, Inc. No part of this book may be reproduced or copied in any form without written permission from the publisher. The bottom of the title-page, including the copyrighted Whitman logo, is formatted differently. It cost $.25 at an Omaha flea market in November, '90.
