I don’t think it’s the Fairy Tale Book. About 9 -12 in tall – thick with beautifully coloured illustrations. Briar Rose, Rapunzel + many more. Maybe also rhymes & riddles. I really want to buy a copy but can’t find one.
Looking for a children’s book, brother and sister, a series of magical challenges. One requires that they escape from a conch shell with increasingly important quotes. They start with jokes/riddles and end up needing powerful quotes for the final sections of the shell.
Also there is a scene where the sister (Nora maybe? Ellie?) is faced with a series of doors, each in a set of two where she chooses one based on her reflection. At first she chooses more sophisticated versions, with fewer of her hated freckles, but ends up very uptight and opts to return and take another path.
Children’s book I read to my kids in the 80’s. I believe it was part of a collection, my daughter believes it may be from Sesame Street. Probably a learning book about numbers. “Dragons” was definitely in the title, probably with a descriptive word in the middle, such as “Nine Daring Dragons”.
I’m looking for a kids book from my childhood. The protagonist is a little girl, possibly named Elizabeth, who has a new baby in her family and is having trouble adjusting. Elizabeth wears black and white striped tights with Mary-Jane shoes. Can you help?
Small book (approx 4 x 6) for young girls maybe ages 5 – 9. Its about two young sisters around also around this age. They live in the country or on a farm. The story is about how they spend time together and play. They have a tire swing in their barn.
I’m looking for a children’s picture book about capturing dragons. I believe it came out in the 1980s. Cover is a close-up of a dragons head, with large, light-colored scales. Each page had a different dragon illustration. One was a green dragon, smoking, with a “mom” heart tattoo. Please help.
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’
