A childhood favorite of mine. Every year around Halloweentime the Weekly Reader (remember those?) would offer this one in their book order forms. That’s how I got my first copy. It disappeared in the mists of time, but I have since found a couple of them here and there.
Of particular note is Red’s intro and the poem, “Little Eefin’ Annie”. That one stayed with me, but I had to re-read the book many years later because I’d forgotten everything else.

Think you meant the poem "Little Orphant Annie", by James Whitcomb Riley (1885). I still have my original 1969 printing and it's a goodie. :-)
