I’m looking for a picture book where a boy’s sister/friend is missing. It’s been winter for a long time and spring isn’t coming. He goes on a quest to find her. When he does, she’s asleep. When she wakes up, springtime comes back.
Thanks!
The book I’m looking for is a beautifully illustrated oversized (aprox. 11 X 14) softcover picture book about a boy who wanders alone through what I think is his eccentric aunt’s house. Starting at the front gate he finds a note with a poem on it which leads him to the next place. This is repeated through the garden and by the pool and then into the house until he ends up in the kitchen where everyone jumps out and there is a big banner that says “Surprise!”
I hope someone knows the book I am asking about. I read the book to my daughter when she was young and she is now 15 years old. She is learning to read to children herself now and very much wants to find that book again which we lost in a move several years ago.
I am looking for a children’s Christmas book I read to my son in the 70’s. It is about children getting ready for Christmas. They are decorating and also baking Christmas cookies. I think the cover had a light blue background.
This book features a simply drawn boy, maybe even a stick figure. At some point, perhaps in a dream, trees come to life and dance around him. I believe the trees turn to popsicles or lollipops.
Thank you for trying to figure this out with so little information!
Hi!
This was a cherished book I had as a child (I am 47). The book was unique in that the illustrations were of rooms in a real house, with a real teddy bear. In the book I think the bear was “alive”. I can recollect something about the London bridge.
Deion: 1970s children’s book, I think called “Don’t Throw This Book Away” about all the ways you could reuse the book. Options in the book include using it as a bookmark in a larger book, or to prop up a short table leg, or shred it to put in the bottom of a hamster cage. Small, square book, with brightly colored pages (hot pink, for example) and illustrations. This is NOT the book called “Don’t Throw That Away” about recycling… just a similar name and theme!
I am looking for the title of a children’s book I read a few years ago. It was, as far as my memory supports about a little boy who travels from place to place (all local, on foot) and after a few verbal exchanges he repeats a line similar to, “I gottagetouta here.”
I lived in MA at the time and wonder if it was local to New England.
Greek mythology picture book published sometime before 2003. It has a brown cover. The pictures are in color. A specific picture, I recall, is a cyclops (probably Polyphemus) eating babies.
1940/1950 Possibly a Jr. Elf book. It was a small children’s book about cats on South Sea (?) island, kittens went to island, one (or more) cats wore a crown of pearls at the end.
Children’s book — probably about 70 years ago — containing many stories. The one I’m looking for is about Wee Bear. A big bear was going to eat him up. Wee Bear said, “Nee no, nee no. Please don’t eat me up and I will make you some stone soup.”
