All I can remember is that a young girl explores an old abandoned Victorian house and finds a feather bracelet. When she puts on the bracelet she goes back in time. I cannot remember what happens to her while she goes back in time. I know she does it quite a few times going back and forth. I sure hope you can help me out on this one!
Hi! I’m searching for details about a book from the early 50’s that had a story “Poor Lizbeth Jane” in it. I’ve been told it’s in The How and Why Program: History. I’ve been unable to find more information than that. Thanks!
Hello, I am looking for a book I read when I was in high school. So this would’ve been around the year 2000 to 2004. It was a coming-of-age tale of a young girl in either World War One or probably World War II. There was romance in it. I remember a very particular scene in which she was at a dance with the G.I. and she was collecting orange peels to make marmalade and they flew out of her dress. I also remember that she ended up with a character at the end who had a beard. Maybe his name was Alex? There may have been a lighthouse involved? Thanks for your help This has been driving me crazy! Not sure if it takes place in the US or in the UK.
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?
