I am hoping you can help me track down the following book:
- I am not sure of the title.
- I believe it was a collection of Golden Book stories, but I am not too sure. My grandmother read it to me frequently in the 1980’s. I believe it was a yellow, hard cover children’s book with a collection of illustrated short stories. Here are the stories I remember:
2a. A lion at a zoo has a cold. The kids would pick on him because he had lost his roar while sick.
2b. A young boy wants to play with the older kids, so he puts on many many layers of clothing and fools them. The story talks about how hot he is in the summer heat with all the clothes. As he runs around, the layers start to fall off, revealing his true self.
2c. Three sisters live in an apartment. One is fat, one is skinny. I think I remember the story takes place in summer and the fat sister was too hot and wanted the window open while the skinny sister was too cold and wanted it shut.
2d. I think there was a story about firetrucks or possibly a tug boat.
I wish I could remember more. I have been searching for this book for about 20 years …
