Two teens (boys?) find some kind of numbered cubes - possibly from a scientist's lab - which when squeezed allow them to enter the mind of someone else, which is represented by a house. In the house the person's true self is locked inside a room and they set him free. Published before 1990. Thanks!
In the 90s, I read a book about a young boy (maybe British?) who was, I think, living with his grandmother. He found a doll who would come to life and they had adventures together. He and his grandmother played the game "snooker." That is all I remember!
It's a children's book, kind of big, maybe 8"x10", old, probably from the 60's or earlier. Hardcover. There is a lion on the front, I think the cover was pinkish. Multiple stories, one involving a lion that gave his hair to birds and lost it all, so they brought him leaves. I think another was about monkeys. I've been searching for years. Halp! 😀
Looking for sci-fi about a teenage girl on a ship (colony) that avoids overpopulation by sending all its teens onto a hostile planet below to survive for a time period. If they live, they become adults and members of the colony.
Hi, looking for a book published in the 1950's. It is a collection of short stories relating to WWII aviation. It included stories set in North Africa, Italy, etc. Each short story included a pastel-ish illustration of a theme of the story. The planes included the P-38, British Mosquito, P-51, etc. The book was maybe an inch thick. Blue hard cover. Thanks so much!
I was born in 1975. There was a short children’s book that I have forgotten the name of. I seem to remember that it was more landscape format than portrait. The over-riding memory of the book was psychedelic landscapes and one in particular was made up of trees made of lollipops. Possibly other landscapes and scenes made up of different objects. That’s all I remember.
I’m looking for a children’s book I had in the mid-1950’s about a little boy with a frown. If I remember correctly, it became frozen on his face
I read this fantasy book in late 80’s/early 90’s as a child. It featured a brother and sister. At least one had magic (maybe both). I believe brother had a magic scepter. Possibly had a large bird they rode to get to places. The cover may have shown the brother with the scepter riding the bird, but I may just be making that up. Good luck and thank you!
