Charmingly Inscribed by the illustrator, Carl R. Sams, and dated Christmas 2000. Also signed by the author. Tight, clean, flat, square, sharp and crisp book in DJ with spots of foxing.  It should be noted that about a quarter of the copies of the books available at this writing are signed by both authors, and that only one of these is inscribed and personalized. The same inscription is in this book. 

Forest animals, awakened by the birds' warning that there is a stranger in the woods, set out to discover if there is danger and find, instead, a wonderful surprise.
