New Red Jacket

New Red Jacket by Edna Chandler. illustrated by Robert Miller. Albert Whitman, 1962. Hardcover, no jacket. Library reinforced binding. Picture pasted on front is missing some surface paper, mostly around edges and corners.Cover has some small marks and smudges. 'This Book Belongs to' stamp and names of previous owners on ffep. Binding is tight and pages are untorn and clean except for an occasional small smudge. Sally is very proud of her new red jacket. She shows it off to everyone, but occasionally when she is playing it gets too hot or too tight and she takes it off and hangs in on a tree. One days when she goes to the tree to put it on it isn't there. It has got into the street and a truck runs over it. But it appears to be OK. She puts it on and zips it up. When she gets home it won't unzip. When her mother declares a new jacket shouldn't act that way and says she will return it to the store, Sally tearfully confesses her carelessness. The problem is finally solved when Sally's adult friends help her, but Sally needs to pay one of them for a new zipper with the money she's been saving for new skates. I like the way Sally takes responsibility for her actions without any adult prompting. BT#1973. $20.00-U (B)

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
