## Is this the true first?
US Bradbury Press first edition. This was Blume's first full-length novel, adapted from a story she wrote for a children's magazine. It was not her first published book (that was the picture book The One in the Middle Is the Green Kangaroo, Reilly and Lee, 1969) and it was not serialized.

## Telling it from reprints & book-club editions
Book-club editions show club markings and lack the priced first-issue jacket.
