Looking for a 1970s British book about a girl, stars with a celestial force/virus, rabbits and humans being infected and changing. Rabbits are screaming, stars are . . . melting? It sounds crazy, but that’s what I remember. Someone on GoodReads posted this description and it’s been driving me crazy because I remember it, too.
Looking for a children’s book about a boy who snuck and took a nesting doll. While he was sitting on the curb he dropped the smallest nesting doll in the storm drain. I believe he took the doll in a lunchbox? Maybe tried to go to show and tell? He had to tell his mom he lost the doll. My mom read it to me in the 80’s when I was little.
This is a children’s chapter book about a family that lives in (I think) NYC in a brownstone. They stop cleaning their house and it turns into a zoo/jungle with a crocodile, monkeys, birds, etc.
The book I remember is a children’s book. I think the cover showed the cat sitting in front of the Taj Mahal.
Looking for a vintage children’s book that has a blue shoe or boot on the cover. The story is based on the “There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe” nursery rhyme. However, in this version the woman is nice and gives the children supper stew, not broth without bread. It was published before 1980 but the exact date is unknown. Please help identify this book! Thanks!
Would you please help me find this book?
The main character (could have been a girl) and a father who traveled to far off places or jungles a lot brought home a wooden crate and inside was a seraph. And it was in the attic or the main character played in the attic. Maybe someone was sick or dying in the hospital throughout the book. At the end something about three interconnected or interwoven rings.
I checked it out from a middle school library in the 1980s. It would’ve been a newer looking book at the time. That’s all I can remember.
