On the reverse of the wrapper are the detailed assembly instructions, “How to Make Each Figure Stand Separately and Form Innumerable Tableaux.”

Collector's Corner:

Each little book in this series consists of the cover, then 1 page of detailed assembly instructions, "How to Make Each Figure Stand Separately and Form Innumerable Tableaux."
Next are 4 story text pages, then 5 chromolithographed panels of figures folded accordion style and opening to 15”. Finally there is a page of stands that the child can mount their toys on after punching them out. These little books were published without a conventional back cover – The plain gray stands on the last leaf serves as the book's lower wrapper.

Embossed chromolithographed card cover, concertina folded chromolithographed sheets with die-cut figures includes 8 punch out die-cut figures of trains and 8 punch out stands.
