I am looking for a children’s book I memorized at age 3 in 1945. I believe the title is: The Land of the Dutch, Dutch, Dutch. I do not know the author or illustrator. It is a child’s introduction to Holland. As a child, I recited the book to any guests in our home. As a teenager, I was an exchange student in Holland.
Children’s book stumper! A child is left at home by parents for a weekend or some length of time, and a neighbor who was supposed to care for her breaks leg and can’t. Bird (maybe a Robin) hears her crying and somehow shrinks her down and brings her home for he and his bird wife to care for her. They feed her the flower butter ‘n’ eggs. . . a catbird leaves an egg with their eggs. . . there might be a bird ball. . . she has a marvelous time and eventually goes home. . . I read it in the late 70s or early 80s but I think it was quite old then. Thank you!
The book I have been trying to remember was likely published in the 1930s. What i recall is that two children and their Mom or Dad were on vacation in the Caribbean. I think the title was Caribbean Caravan. The Caravan they traveled in was one of the old silver ones.
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.
