I am looking for a story we had on audio cassette. It was about a child who kept repeating “I’m not sleepy yet, I’m not sleepy yet, I’M. Not. Slee-py.” The child would not be consoled until they had their teddy pig. “I want my teddy pig!” Thanks.
I am looking for a book I had a child. It would be likely from the 80’s or 90’s. It was about a girl [or may be a girl and her cousin] having a bath and they dive down into the depths of the tub until they are swimming in the ocean, and they come out the other side and meet the owl and the pussycat in their Pea green boat. They go on some type of adventure and end up back at home for bedtime. I’ve been racking my brain for a LONG TIME on this one.
Looking for picture book loosely based on The Little Mermaid. In this version, the mermaid has two tails instead of one. She meets and falls in love with a sea captain, and when he leaves she gives him a lock of her hair to wear around his finger. She cries on the rocks like her grandmother did once after he leaves. The captain forgets about her but encounters a witch later on who reminds him of what he promised, and I think it ends with him jumping overboard.
Seeking child's book from the 1950's. Tall & narrow with a cut-out top. She's Pitta Pat the tabby cat, the cat who couldn't remember. She chews her soup and drinks her bread and sleeps in the bathtub instead of the bed. She's Pitta Pat the tabby cat, the cat who couldn't remember.
This was a British (I think) book about two pigs whose parents were having a party, so they gave them each like a dollar to go out and have fun while they set up. They went out and went to the candy store and all these other places, and then at the end of the day they didn’t save enough money to ride the bus home, so the candy store owner gives them a ride home. And something about lollipops! And I think it has the word “town” in the title. Like, the pigs go to town, or a day in town, or something something town. It was purchased in the early 1990s in a small bookstore in New Hampshire, where we also got another book called Animal Party, which is also British. Maybe the same publisher?
I read this book when I was young in the 80s. It was about a brother and sister (I think) who were caught in a rainstorm and happened upon a sagging, scary looking tent. They went inside and magically it was a bright, exciting room with some kind of delicious food (ice cream? cotton candy?) and I think a pinball machine? I feel like there was a witch involved, who turned out to be a good witch, but maybe I’m making that up.
Seeking hardback book from the late 60's early 70's for kids, I think had a yellow cover, with poems about parts of speech like "beware the dangling participle" and a snake dangling from a tree. Probably 8 or 10 different poems for different parts of speech. Seems like one of the poems has mugwumps but I am not 100% sure. Sorry I can't remember more.
I am looking for a children’s book from the 1940’s to early 50’s about a Navajo Indian girl who goes into the desert with her donkey to find something—a puppy? Gorgeous illustrations.
