Size: 4to-over 9.75"-12" tall; Straight, solid hardcover in red paper covered boards with two lower page tears mended with PH neutral archival tape, One school library stamp at foot of title page. No All pages present, no card pocket or evidence of ever having had one. Displays beautifully in unclipped (and unpriced) jacket with no call tag on backstrip. Displays very well. No page tears, no names save for a school stamp in the navy blue portion of the title page which isn't a distraction. Tomi Ungerer's little blonde orphan Tiffany is far from helpless--she is not afraid of the robbers and instead reforms them, converting their evil into goodness. By the end of the story, the robbers are using their ill-gotten gains to create a kinder, better world for other unhappy children who have been neglected by a thoughtless society. At the time of the book's first publication, Tomi Ungerer summed up the moral of the story as, 'Whatever the color of money, it is never too late to make good use of it, ' an intriguingly ambivalent statement that serves as a good indication of the playful, unconventional, sometimes provocative and always entertaining nature of this author.
