Reissue (1936, Farrar & Rinehart)
(3) 4-6 New York Review Children's Collection series. This reissue of an Australian classic describes the nonsensical exploits of a koala and his friends (an old sailor and a penguin) who own a magic pudding. The illustrations are great fun, the characters burst into comic verse at the drop of a hat, and it's hard to resist a book that has no redeeming social value whatsoever.
