a gang of kid mystery solvers, with one kid having a pet squirrel. The book was arranged in such a way where the left page was words and the right facing page a black & white illustration which contained a clue, very detailed illustrations similar to Where’s Waldo. From the 80s I think.
I’m searching for a children’s book about a mother cat giving birth to kittens. The title was Sunshine’s Kittens or Sunshine has Kittens. Definitely the name Sunshine. It was around in the early 70s – not sure of the publication date.
My grandparents had a children’s book about a kitten that was always on the wrong side of the door – the title may have been something like that. It was a small book, maybe 4″ x 6″ inches, with a light blue cover and an oval in the center with a picture of a little girl and/or the kitten on a front step. I think the kitten was black and white. It would have been in the early ’70s that they had it, but I have no idea how old it was. I don’t remember it looking too old at that time.
:Pre-1970 children’s book about a black boy, possibly named Johnny (johnny-o?). Illustrated in a caricature style, light colors on black background. Almost abstract and dream-like.
The subject matter of the book had to do with food, possibly pancakes. I vaguely recall someone or something ‘rolling’
I had a children’s (picture) book in the 60’s called something like “Caroline and her Friends.” Caroline was a little girl but her friends were all animals. They traveled around the world. I don’t remember much text, but the illustrations were marvelous and detailed, sometimes a 2-page spread, in which each animal friend was doing something that fit their nature: being scared or brave etc. There was a storyline of being castaway after their ship sank, they built a raft, ended up in India where they helped a prince regain his kingdom (he’s trapped in a pit with a tiger when they first find him, I think). There may have been two books in a series. At the end of one, they return to Caroline’s house and do spring cleaning. At the end of another, they are in a ski resort, one of the animals breaks a leg and has to stay inside. I may not actually have the name Caroline right. My mother threw this book away when it got moldy in the attic and I’ve longed to see it again for years.
This is a story of, I believe, three animals.
There is a crow, and two others whom I cannot remember. These three animals live in a tree that they share. They are trying to survive, and much of the story surrounds their attempts to Cook good meals. They may make stone soup. The book has chapters and it has some illustrations. It focuses on animals staying warm and staying well fed. For example, They eat biscuits. I would LOVE to know the title of this book. Help?
My Mom gave me the book in the 3rd grade.
hi there. i’m looking for a book that i read when i was a child (early 90’s) and my sister recomended this site.
from what i (think) can remember of the book a boy goes to bed angry (not where the wild things are!) and subsequently his foul mood starts to make the world break. first his room cracks and then later on the world becomes flooded and there is a picture of him sat on the roof of his house, leaning agains the chimney with his arms crossed as he watches things float past (at one point i think he hangs onto his bedroom door as it floats). i think the book ends with the whole world (reality) having been destroyed.
i think that the book used the colour blue a lot and my mother says that she remembers that it wasn’t very inundated with language- mostly pictures
This is a children’s book from the early to mid 1960’s. It is slightly taller than it is wide ; a little taller than a Golden Book. I remember the cover illustration as having the color green in it. It is not a hardcover but a laminate. The pair ride from country to city.
One of my favorite books as a kid was about a man who rode his bicycle into a crack in the road; the crack keeps getting larger and larger until the man finds himself riding through a giant ravine underneath the road. I think there may have been a plant or vine that grabbed his bicycle tires and dragged him into the ravine. I think the drawings were in black and white.
I was born in the early 1980s so the book was probably published in the mid-late 70s or early 80s, less likely 1960s although it was sort of psychedelic.
