This book was one of my favourites growing up, i always wondered why Kiki had pink hair, and wanted it myself. The liner pages have beautiful illustrations of ballet positions and the story is written and illustrated by Charlotte Steiner. This copy is an ex kindergarden edition, and the book was first printed in 1949, this is a 1959 version. The font on the cover reminds me of the title text of the film "The Red Shoes"
My wife has a copy of this book she got when she was 4 or 5 back in 1951. It was her favorite book. She still has it and is going to make color copies to send to two grand daughters. I'll use your good scan of the cover and the flyleaf to make a cover. Thanks.
