Bunny Cotton Tail Junior by Laura R. Smith

This item is an antique or vintage children's book titled 'Bunny Cotton Tail Junior' by Laura R. Smith. The book features a rigid hardcover, likely made of cardboard covered in a light blue cloth material, possibly linen or buckram. The title, 'BUNNY COTTON TAIL JUNIOR', is printed in a dark, stylized font on the front cover, along with the author's name, 'LAURA R. SMITH', printed in a more standard sans-serif or slab-serif font near the bottom. A central illustration depicts a charming, anthropomorphic bunny character with whiskers, clutching what appears to be a small bag or satchel, rendered in a dark ink, possibly black or dark blue, matching the text. The overall aesthetic suggests an early 20th-century publication, characteristic of children's literature from that era. Visible condition issues include general wear and fading to the cloth cover, particularly along the edges and corners, indicating age and handling. The corners appear slightly bumped and frayed. The cloth likely has some grime or discoloration from age, giving it a somewhat muted or aged hue compared to its original color. There are no obvious tears or significant damage visible on the front cover, but the overall patina confirms its vintage status. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for an early children's book, with cloth-bound boards and printed illustrations.
