The Noisy Book
New York: William R. Scott, Inc., 1939. First edition. Small 4to. Unpaginated. Illustrated boards, endpapers, and throughout by Leonard Weisgard, jacket is price clipped, some wear but overall very good.
The first title in Brown's influential “noisy books” series and the beginning of her celebrated collaboration with illustrator Leonard Weisgard. Weisgard’s bold modernist illustrations paired with Brown’s rhythmic, sensory-driven text helped redefine the mid-century picture book and laid the groundwork for Brown’s later classics, including Goodnight Moon.
