Hi! I’m looking for a book that may have been printed in the 70s? It’s a collection of children’s stories, and the only two I remember are one about a girl fetching water for her sick mother and her ladle turning into the Big Dipper, and one about an orange kitten that needed glasses. Thank you!
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
I collect antique children’s school books and it’s in my copy of a 1920s Elson’s Reader. The story is The Star Dipper. It is attributed to an old tale instead of to an author.
It is also in Folk Tales Children Love illustrated by Watty Piper. The illustrations are beautiful!
I think it may be this:
Orange Oliver, the Kitten Who Needed Glasses
