I think this book is an old vintage reader from the 1950s or 60s. It has some very good stories in it I’d like to read again. In one story there is a flood and a grandmother and a boy or girl move up to the attic. There is a cook stove up there and Grandmother makes cookies while the water rises. The illustrations show her rolling out the dough for the cookies. In another story a young boy tries to teach an old Indian how to drive. I’d love to read these stories again as I cannot remember how they ended.
Thank you!
This stumper is finally solved! I found one of the anthologies! The story where grandmother bakes cookies during a flood and lots of other stories I’d forgotten but loved is on there. The books is from the Betts Basic Readers series. It’s called “Along Friendly Roads” and it’s the 3-2 book in the series. By the way I highly recommend this reading series for homeschooling and the teaching of phonics, or if you just want a look back to stories from long ago. This book was published in 1965.
