1978 | Arthur’s Prize Reader | Lillian Hoban | First Edition | Weekly Reader I Can Read Hardcover
Arthur is convinced his little sister Violet cannot really read, while Violet is just as determined to prove him wrong. What follows is a funny sibling rivalry involving comic books, reading contests, prizes, and a very satisfying lesson for Arthur. Written and illustrated by Lillian Hoban, this vintage I Can Read title has the wonderfully nostalgic artwork and straightforward text that make older beginning readers so fun to collect and actually use.
This copy is especially nice from a bibliographic standpoint because the copyright page states First Edition, 1978. It was issued as a Weekly Reader Books presentation of the Harper & Row I Can Read edition.
Condition: Vintage used condition with substantial rubbing and surface wear to the illustrated covers, bumped and worn corners and edges, age toning to the pages, and blue crayon/pen marks on the front endpaper. Interior pages remain readable and the book retains tons of vintage character.
Age range: Approximately ages 5–8, especially kindergarten through second grade or children transitioning into independent reading. The book itself centers around a first grade reading contest and is generally categorized as an early reader.
