Lentil, by Robert McCloskey: 1968 Hardcover Children’s Book

This 1968 renewed edition of Robert McCloskey's *Lentil* is a charming vintage collectible that tells the story of a boy who discovers his talent for harmonica when singing and whistling elude him. The library-bound hardcover features McCloskey's distinctive two-color illustrations depicting small-town American life, and while it shows its age with typical wear and library markings, the binding remains tight and the artwork crisp. Note that the third page is loose and requires careful handling, though this doesn't affect readability.
