Hi! I’ve been trying to find the name of my favorite book from childhood. It’s all the mother/ parent animals putting their baby animals to bed. I remember one of the illustrations being in a tree or roots or something of that nature. It wasn’t a big book but I loved it dearly.
Thank you!
Children’s picture book from early-mid 80’s where a kid gets a shot from his MD and inside the syringe are soldiers, that go through the needle and attack the evil germs in the kids body. The soldiers kind of resemble “nut crackers” from what I remember.
Me and my brothers were read this when we were growing up in the 1980s and none of us can remember the title. It is a children’s picture book with great graphics. The parents became wealthy being rock stars (or famous at least, if not rock stars) and they moved to a house with a gold bath plug in it and had an ice cream machine that made rainbow coloured ice-cream but then they got bored of the money. I remember that the mother complained about the bath plug being scratchy. The mother had a really cool hairstyle which came forward in a point on her forehead. It wasn’t a long book – for bed time reading- but we all think about it a lot and would love to find it.
I am trying to remember a book that I read in elementary school in the mid to late 80s. I don’t remember the title but it was about being trapped inside another world inside a mirror and anytime they showed mirrors they used holographic stickers. I remember it being a large picture book with great (Victorian style?) artwork.
I’m looking for a trilogy the second book hardcover has a skeleton metal android on it and has a yellow background its at least a trilogy. It is about a winged boy, named Del, living in what sounds like a castle or a temple. He dies at one point and becomes a room but escapes the room. In another part his body is possessed by some spirit, I think it was a god, the God in Del’s body tore off his wings. I also remember that his eyes could change color. Right after the possession he, Del with the god in him, was in a room being tortured by someone. The girl that Del had been traveling with commented on his eyes being white with rage. After the god in Del’s body and the girl escape the god rips off the now damaged wings. After he dies he was in a room that was his soul it was painful for him to become a room. After he rips himself free he grounds up and devours some pictures which represent the souls. He did that because someone with him told him to. They said that it wouldn’t be as effective but should still help. There’s people riding something that the android is carrying someone sets the android free.
Thank you for at least trying to help,
Jessee
I think it was called “Big book of Bedtime stories”. It would have been published in the early 80s or older. One of the stories was about an alternate world where people walked there hands instead of there feet. Other stories about magic. Yellow.
Taught myself to read in first grade with a book of forgotten title. The main character is Benjamin B. (or Benjamin B––) (not Bee or any other variation). The book was published before 1966, which is when I read it. The book was not new when I read it, so possibly published before 1960. It is my faint impression (which could be incorrect) that he was a British boy, so perhaps written by a British author. I’m sorry, but that’s all I have. I have been looking for this book for about a decade, so any help appreciated.
A girl tries out for majorette at her high school. She is so nervous that she has nightmares that the baton keeps getting bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier. She makes majorette but then her grades start to suffer.
This is an older book from the fifties or sixties. A girl tries out for cheerleader at her high school. The school colors are navy blue and white and on the day of tryouts she realizes she is wearing a white shirt and navy skirt that looks almost like the cheer uniform. She is embarrassed about that. She later makes the squad.
A girl runs away to live in a house in a cemetery. Two friends come over and they make a suicide pact. I picked out this chapter book from the library for a report in 4th grade (~1984), made a shoe box diorama of three girls sitting cross legged. Creepy!
