Description
From the Back Cover
“Some things are just hard to understand.” That’s all Miss Pickett will say. Indeed they are! It’s mighty peculiar when milk changes into strawberry soda … when a bathtub fills itself … when a fire suddenly stops spreading. And most peculiar of all, these strange doings only happen when Miss Pickett is around. There aren’t many baby sitters like Miss Pickett … but you’ll wish there were!
Publishing Info

Condition
See photo above. In very good condition for age. The covers show handling/storage which includes handling dimples. The spine has not been opened/creased. The pages are toning from age but are in very good condition. Name and date inside front cover (will tell you later who this long-time Kansas Legislator was). Stored in and shipped from clean, smoke-free home.
Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap this in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, tightly sandwich it between pieces of cardboard, then wrap in brown paper to send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
