This was a book for young children, maybe no text, all photos, not drawings. 1946-1955. Two Japanese children walking in the woods, by streams, gardens. The book was bigger than a Golden Book, maybe 10×10 inches.
I do not know the author or publisher … I would have read this book in the late 70’s or early 80’s .. it may have been a Scholastic book. The book was about an insect (maybe a bug or spider) finding lost or discarded items like a button, thread, cup and using them to build a house please help!
I am trying to locate a book for a friend of mine. He is not sure when it was actually published, but remembers reading it the early 60’s as a child. The snowman could fly, and he delivered flavored snow-cones to kids all over the world. The illustrations were typical for a lot of children’s books from that era – soft watercolor or gouache – and the snowman closely resembled contemporary “Frosty” snowman characters we see today – top hat, cherry/carrot nose, coal eyes, etc. He thinks it could be a Little Golden Book, but he has not found any evidence of that yet.
My friend is a cancer patient and this would make him really happy!
“There’s one book I’ve been searching for the title of for YEARS. I can only remember the illustrations in my head. It’s set in a garden–two girls leave their mom and go into the woods. They have long hair, no shoes, dresses. I feel like the book was a religious undertone of god and angels. The girls found another house in the woods–an old man gave them food and shelter. He had a German Shepherd. I feel like, if memory serves me right, the man was hinted to being God in plain human form. When the girls went back to their mom, she was very old–and they were still young. The book was more full page layout illustrations than wordy. Does anyone have any idea what I’m speaking of?? Id be EVER so grateful to have this mystery solved. Librarians and Google Searches have been left scratching their heads.”
I wanna guess the book was created in the late 80s or 90s–leaning towards 90s, but I really don’t know. Hope you can help!! 🙂
I seek a book I had as a child, a book about MILK; I believe the title is also MILK. It’s a simple picture book that chronicles milk through the ages. There is a page about Cleopatra bathing in milk in Egypt. I recall the font being a very simple black helvetica. Circa 1970’s.
my daughter is 35 now and i used to read her a book called: the witch and the wizard.
it was a rhyming book , approximately 20 pages where the witch and the wizard each challenge each other for their powers, by casting spells on each other.
by the end of the book, they agree that they both are equally as powerful, and now have to clean up the mess that they made what with frogs and such all over the place.
it is drawn with each page showing the spell that was cast on each other, from the previous spell,such that the end characters are humorously disfigured.
i would love to find it and read it to my granddaughter, in the presence of her mother.
thanks for searching.
A children’s picture book, published no later than 1987.
It’s about a mouse who, though warned not to, goes on an adventure to the pond (lake?) He meets a group of frogs (toads?) who repeat everything twice. They call him “Mouse-Mouse.” An animal attacks and they flee. Semi-realistic illustration.
Preschool pictures only, no words. About the size of a “Where’s Waldo”, hardcover, thin book, slightly larger than 8 x 10. Contained pictures of a white bunny, one page was a bunny cooking a stew with carrots. I borrowed the book about 30 years ago from the Cuyahoga County library
Hello everyone, I am trying to find a children’s book that I used to have as a child in the 90s. It had gorgeous watercolor pictures and told the story of a Princess who gets turned into a giant red Pterodactyl Monster. I would be forever grateful to anyone who could tell me the name of this book
Story starts out in a black and white town. Little girl finds a paint set and begins to color the town and the people, paints the grass green and even paints the baby’s face a rosy color. Possibly published in early 1990’s. My daughter read it in elementary school about 1993-1998
