The Poky Little Puppy
Janette Sebring Lowrey (illus. Gustaf Tenggren) · Simon and Schuster (New York) · 1942
US-only true first — Simon and Schuster, New York, 1942. No UK or original-language edition precedes it. Simon and Schuster is the imprint on the original twelve; Western Printing & Lithographing (Racine, Wisconsin) was the printer in 1942, not the publisher of record, so title pages reading Golden Press or Western Publishing Company are later issues however early they appear. The blue spine brackets the window: it was used 1942-1947 only.
