These two children's books are great for reading and collecting. When reading, handle them gently to avoid further damage to the covers and endpapers. To maintain them, store the books in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further sunning of the spine and label. If there are any spills on the pages, use a soft, dry cloth to gently blot the area. Remember, these are vintage books, so they may have some signs of wear, but that also adds to their charm.
