It's size is 5.5" x 7.75," perfect for tossing in your tote bag!

It's got a hand-stitched binding...


and 114 pages of all different kinds of papers, including kraft paper, sheet music, scrapbook paper, envelopes, and some of the original pages from the book...

and including a map of Kansas! (where the story takes place)
