Looking for the title of a wordless book about kids who lived in a city and collected things people threw away and transformed their little garage into a fun place to play.
Possibly written in the 60s or 70s?
Sorry, no clue about the author’s name.
A children’s picture book likely 1950-1970’s about a bunny who finds a magic egg. When he looks through the egg it allows him to see different parts of the world. Possibly Easter related.
A book my father used to read to me every night. It might have been called Almost Three. It was about a little girl and the things she could do at her age. There was a picture in it of the daddy picking the little girl up by her feet and putting her in bed.
Looking for a children’s book I read around 1983 (possible a board book, it was small in size), about a girl in a house with her family and a poltergeist that plays tricks on them. Not scary. At one point the poltergeist shuts the lights out and when they come back on “Hat, Hats, Hats, Everyone wear Hats” or something like that.
The book I am looking for is a hardback, large sized (slightly bigger than A4), picture book that would have belonged to my mum, so printed early 60’s maybe? It had a pastel green cover with a picture of several girls playing, at least one of them was skipping rope.
The girls were drawn with the chubby cheeked vintage look similar to Strawberry Shortcake/Holly Hobbie. The pictures closest to what I remember are the books by Maria Luisa illustrated by MR Batlle. I think they wore the puffy caps similar to Strawberry Shortcake too, and maybe wore aprons over their dresses? I seem to remember one of the girls wore glasses.
I don’t remember what the actual story was about but it may have been about going to school. I have absolutely no idea of the title or author sorry but I would love to be able to find this book again!
Even if you had some clues about authors/illustrators that had similar style drawings I would be grateful.
It is a picture book with words. A family fixes up little sailboat, there is a rainstorm, and they have a picnic. It is probably about 20 pages long, kindergarten to 2nd grade book probably, late 50’s early 60’s (pre-67 I’m pretty sure).
In my school library, early 1960’s 2nd grade, it was about a poor family of four who bought a run down house and fixed it up, added a pond, and either the stars fell from the night sky into the pond, or they were reflected there. I think the cover was blue.
I’m looking for children’s picture book from the 90’s about a child’s visit to the beach for the day and going back home at the end of the day. It explored the sights with realistic pictures and a simple narrative.
Looking for an old children’s book that has the words “you’re my (little) boy, my pride and joy” after each page or section.
My sister in law remembers her mom reading it every night to her little brother. Her mom passed away over 20 years ago, and the book is MIA. She always looks for it whenever she’s in thrift stores, or used book stores… we’ve searched for the keywords of the book on google and can’t find the title of it.
My SIL grew up in Northern British Columbia if that helps – might have been a small/remote publishing company?
This is a tale of a boy who pulls his wagon around his town, looking for bottles to collect and redeem. There is a map of the places he visits on the inside covers.
