This was the first book I got illustrated by Ian Miller. Like many other writers, I started reading Ray Bradbury because of an artist.
So this is one of my most treasured books. I have no idea if you can even get it now.
I just found this book and version by chance in my library, just from couple chapters I know this is going to be another awesome story by Ray!

Found while weeding. I think there are a few of us here in the tumblarian community who can make this our own.
In case any new followers were wondering where my icon came from. I loved the Something Queer series as a kid, especially this one! Two girl detectives try to discover who damaged library books and find the answer at a dog show.
I’ve been obsessed with these old Willy Pogany books forever.
Someday….
