"Quiet! There's a Canary in the Library" by Don Freeman - A Special Thrift-Store Used Children's Book Discovery

"Quiet! There's a Canary in the Library" by Don Freeman was first published in 1969.

Don Freeman dedicated this copy to a young reader named Michael, complete with portrait!

I believe this is a first edition of this little-known but charming Don Freeman book, Quiet! There's a Canary in the Library, and that's not all...It's also dedicated to a young fan, complete with original illustration and autograph! Don Freeman is known for writing and illustrating great children's books like Corduroy (and A Pocket for Corduroy), Dandelion, Norman the Doorman and Fly High, Fly Low.
