With illustrations by Roy McKie and ingenious movable mouse paper engineering by Ib Penick. THE MANY MICE was later re-issued in 1989 as THE POP-UP MICE OF MR. BRICE; the original title, being more alliterative, is superior. This copy comes directly from the stock of Aleph-Bet Books, the firm of Seuss bibliographers Helen Younger and Marc Younger. 9'' x 6.5''. Original orange glossy pictorial boards. Color illustrations by McKie, paper engineering by Penick. (truncated)
