I Know an Old Lady - Retro Children's book

Found this gem of a children's book last week on one of my many trips to village fayres. Some brilliant illustrations in it by Abner Graboff, was born in 1919, to two Russian immigrants living in New Jersey. I love his quirky pictures! The book was first published in 1961.
