Girl’s family is involved with sugarcane farming/growing. I believe the book was written by a kid or the idea came from a kid, and it had won a contest to be published.

354K: Girl Finds and Protects Egg
I don’t have much to go on. It’s a book my daughter wants to find. It’s a beautifully illustrated book about a girl who finds and protects an egg in the woods. She said the front cover is green. That’s about it! She lent the book years ago and it was never returned.
Thank you!
354G: Children’s Book Featuring Cute Characters Including Green Monster
I do not remember title but remember characters and some details from this book. It was a children’s book I loved reading when I was little and I was born in 1983.
I vividly remember what the characters looked like in illustrations - adorable soft illustrations. The characters had big eyes (not Precious Moments but similar in cuteness factor).
The book I want had a little girl with dark hair (black or brown) and had red poppies, plus a cute green monster that I think liked to eat cookies but I feel had a Loch Ness monster type feel and maybe lived in a lake.
I’ve done searches trying to find the cover of the book but haven’t seen what I’m looking for. Hope you guys can help me.
354F: Halloween-Themed Picture Book
Looking for a children’s picture book. Castle with big square shaped room, little white goblin people, big cauldron with soup, possibly witches, some kind of battle. The floor might be checkered and the title might have something to do with “eve” or “night”. Possibly a Halloween book.
354E: Child leads lost family out of the woods and back home
I can vaguely recall a particular picture book from my childhood – I was born in 63 and remember ‘reading’ this as a young child. It was the story of a family on a woodland hike. The youngest in the family was a curious little boy (might’ve been a girl!) who loved to notice every plant and rock, each lichen and creature that marked the family’s path. As you might expect, the rest of the family was often frustrated at having to wait for their youngest member; they were ready to get to their destination and he was holding up their progress! Soon the family realized that they were lost in the woods and with little recollection of how to get home. The boy, however, showed them the way out. He remembered things like the shape of the last tree and the color of the boulder a little way back. He could point out where he’d seen a certain flower or noticed tracks in the mud. Soon the whole family found their way home.
354B: Crocus Walk
This children’s book is about a mother and daughter who take a walk outside and look at different things on their walk. In particular, I remember that they looked at crocuses. The book was a large hardback book with a matte white cover. The illustrations were pastel colored, maybe using colored pencils. I remember that in at least one illustration the mother and daughter were holding hands. It was probably written around 1985 or a bit earlier, because I remember reading it with my mother when I was five or so. That’s all I can remember. Hopefully there are enough clues!
353S: Dad Makes Funny Faces to Get Daughter to Sleep
The kid’s book I’m looking for was something my dad read to me in the 1980s. (I don’t know the vintage of the book. It could be from before the ’80s.)
The book is about a dad making various funny faces with his daughter before she goes to sleep. I seem to recall that the last page shows just their eyes in the dark.
Please help me find it!
353R: Paintings With Riddles (Solved!)
Seeking an illustrated children's book (probably paintings) with a slew of riddles on one page and an accompanying painting containing the answers to those riddles. Likely published late 70s or 80s, no later. Somewhere in the book is a picture of a Raven and some thread. The last illustration features a horse. Not Animalia, but possibly inspired by it. Book is on the larger side, dimensionally. Thank you.
353I: Coal Eating Dragon With Big Appetite
1960s? children's book, full-page B&W illustrations except for red dragon, boy feeds dragon with big appetite with coal, possibly takes place in UK or Wales.
353D: The Adventures of Thistle the Raccoon (Solved!)
So my book is a children’s book. It was mostly pictures but also some text and a little story to go along with the photos. It is from the 70s/80s as the 80s were when I was taking the book out of the library. It was about a raccoon named Thistle. I am pretty sure of the name but it followed the story and pictures of a racoon with that name. I hope that is enough to go on as I haven’t found it anywhere. They were actual photographs and not drawings. And I’m pretty sure there was a picture of Thistle on the cover.
