A book probably from the 80s or even late 70s.Beautifully illustrated with diagram-like illustrations; one I remember in particular was a diagram of Baba Yaga’s house. Story about two girls and a hound dog solving spooky mysteries; definitely involve Baba Yaga at some point.
this is a young adult novel in which two children enter a world based on heraldry. An important unicorn is missing. There are two pages “Vaire” and “Ermine.” It would be published before 1975. Thanks!
Hi. I had a teen paperback book sometime in the 1970s about a teenage girl traveling by train. Unhappy with her destination, she switches suitcases with a girl she meets on the train and goes to NYC with the other girl’s suitcase, which contains art supplies, and works to become an artist. Thanks!
I am looking for a book that I read in my elementary school library when I was a student in the first half of the 1970’s. It was a heavily illustrated book of North American wildlife. I don’t remember the title or the author, but I have photocopies of several of the drawings. I liked the book enough to make copies of the illustrations, but unfortunately none of the pages have text on them to help identify the book. All the illustrations were full page with a single animal. Given that the image of the grizzly includes a frontiersman/mountain man, I searched for things like Davy Crockett, Hugh Glass, Louis and Clark, etc. without any success.
I also tried a google image search. The image of the grizzly returned 2 hits, one of which was in Japanese.
Help is greatly appreciated.
I have been trying for decades to find a book from my childhood. I would have been about 6 or 7 when I got it, so it would seem to be late 1970’s/early 1980’s. It was a hardcover book, about 8.5 x 11 size, with illustrations on each page that had the reader solve a mystery. I cannot remember the title though I seem to think it was a set of two, and perhaps the main character had “professor” in his name somehow. I also seem to recall one or both mysteries being set on a dock and/or boat. The illustrations were brightly colored with dark outlines; a graphic style more so than a detailed realistic illustration. Any help would be appreciated!
I read a book in the late 60s or early 70s about a young girl that went to live with someone (perhaps aunts). She went out for a walk and to a house down the street where she met a family that had children near her age. She visited them and but came to find out they were actually from the past
children’s book from the mid to late 70’s about a sea turtle that is rescued by a child. The child names the turtle nicky due to knicks on it’s fins or shell, nurses the turtle to health and helps it back to the sea.
Another ghost story. The “ghost” is also from the Revolutionary War. The ghost was murdered for some reason and his body hidden (in a well, I think). He befriends a human modern-day boy and together they solve the mystery of the ghost’s demise.
The first book is about a modern day boy who lives in New England. Every time the fog rolls in, a mysterious village of Revolutionary War era appears in the woods. The boy develops a relationship with the villagers and eventually realizes that his own father also had a similar experience. Either the boy or his father was gifted a pocketknife by the ghost villagers.
A Children’s book bought in the early to mid 80’s, might be A Little Golden or Elf? These are the lines “Bossy eats grass and swishes her tail and gives us milk in a shiny pail. Skippy drives the cows and sheep and over the fence will lightly leap. Piggy Piggy eats all day he sleeps so much he will
