Vintage September 1970 1st printing of the Scholastic softcover edition of Why Can't I? written and illustrated by renowned children's science author Jeanne Bendick Published by Scholastic Book Services under catalog number TJ 1683 AbeBooks with a 60¢ original cover price. This charming vintage educational book answers common childhood questions about animal behaviors versus human abilities using fun, bright mid-century illustrations. The front cover shows a light teal background featuring a bird and children attempting to glide. The back cover playfully asks, "A bird can fly. Why can't you? A fish can live under water. Why can't you? A chipmunk can sleep all winter. Why can't you?" The cover graphics remain clean, the pages show very mild vintage tanning, and the structural binding is firm and completely secure. A wonderful piece of retro classroom nostalgia for vintage book collectors!
