Evans and Company, Inc., New York, approximately 8" x 7", and unnumbered pages. "Roy and Joy loved animals. But they lived in a house where no pets were allowed. Animals of any kind made their parents sniffle, sneeze, and wobble in the knees. Then sprightly little Abidan Allseed appears late one magical night. . . . This is the howling, mooing, cock-a-doodle-dooing story of what happened next in the one and only Animal Garden in the world!" -- on back cover Well, you'll have to buy the book to read the rest!
