I am looking for the title of a book I read when I was a child, in about 1965 or so. It was about a girl who was at home, ill in bed, while her friends went to the 3-D movies. She couldn’t go due to her illness, but her friends brought her a pair of the 3-D glasses. When she put them on, she was transported to a magic world. It seems to me like there was lemonade rain but I’m not sure.
Does this ring a bell with you?
Try this: Joan Dell, The Missing Boy.

Maybe either The Peculiar Miss Pickett by Nancy Julian or Mr. Pudgins by Ruth Carlsen.
YES! I have looked for that story for FOREVER with no luck! I seem to remember the townspeople running all over with buckets, pots and pans, trying to catch the lemonade! This would have been in the mid to late 1960s!
Nancy,
There’s a short story called ‘Lemonade Flood’ that has townsfolk running about trying to catch the lemonade rain (but no 3d glasses or transportation) in the book:
‘Star Bright’ by Paul A. Witty; Mildred Hoyt Bebel. Publication date 1964
