Irene Haas, illustrator of Beatrice Schenk de Regniers"s folk song adaptation Was It a Good Trade?, has traded in her preseparated art from the original 1956 publication for all-new art in a May reissue. At 10\" x 6\", the volume retains the horizontal shape of its predecessor, and many of Haas"s compositions closely resemble her originals, with multiple vignettes on a single spread suggesting the protagonist"s bartering actions. The tidy lines and solid color fields of the 1956 edition, however, have yielded to a profusion of patterns in lush colors, with every detail welcoming in readers.
