Hello Val - If you go on to abebooks .com, there are four sellers in the UK, with prices ranging from £4.90 to the rather cheeky £24.99! All are used copies, as it's a 1992 print, so 2nd-hand's your best (only) route. Having said that, why not (with all that extra time you'll have in retirement ~) write your own book? Children like a known framework, so changes can be disturbing - but they do learn to cope with them. Could you involve her in the decorating, even though she's so little? Enjoy your retirement....
