"Roly the Railroad Mouse" by Ruth Ainsworth, illustrated by Jean Winslow, Weekly Reader Book Club Edition, published by Franklin Watts, New York. Stated First American Edition 1969 (1st published in England in 1967 by William Heinemann)

Illustrated hard boards [a little wear]; 7.1/4" x 8.3/4"; slightly damaged the upper edge of the front endpaper [see photo], 71 pages, fully illustrated, very good condition.

"This was one of my two favorite childhood stories. It is about a mouse called Roly and his family and his adventures at a train station. This would be a good book for a third grader to read independently, although older children may enjoy it as well." [a private review]
