Alphabet book that was read in the early 90’s- possibly an international book- maybe from England. The first few lines went something like, “A is for apple, so red and good to eat. So Archie, Daisy, Don and Flo fill their baskets for a treat. B is for ball. The mice are having fun…”
Hi, I’m desperate to locate an old children’s book for a friend and all he can remember is that it was a story about a man who wore a top hat, and traveled along a river meeting various people and animals and taught a group of frogs to sing and used a tuning fork. Purple cover (?) UK, Please help!
In the mid-80’s I bought a collection of tiny picture books for my nephew which featured anthropomorphized animals who lived on Cobblestone Lane. I bought them because the first book feature a character (a cat) named Tim, like my nephew. I am looking for these books again as Tim now has a son and would like him to have a set. Can you clue me in as to what they were?
A Children’s book bought in the early to mid 80’s, might be A Little Golden or Elf? These are the lines “Bossy eats grass and swishes her tail and gives us milk in a shiny pail. Skippy drives the cows and sheep and over the fence will lightly leap. Piggy Piggy eats all day he sleeps so much he will
This small, illustrated children’s book features a group of kids who build various things out of a pile of wood and some nails, starting, I think, with a fort. For some reason they keep tearing down and rebuilding their constructions; at one point they have a ship with a flag on the mast. Pre-1986.
I’m looking for a children’s book (probably published in the 70s/80s) that included various plays on words, with each sentence having a double meaning. For example, the blue prince for the house, vs. the blueprints for the house.
This is a book my boyfriend read when he was a young child in the early 1980s, he thinks it might be as old as the 1960s though. It was a picture book and it must have been a pretty easy reader. The parts he remembers are that there was a little boy (possibly named Sam) who was taking a bath. The tub overfilled and flooded the whole house, and while it did he rode the tub on the water throughout multiple stories of the house. He thinks there also might have been a parade at the end. I’m trying to find it for him as a present, so any help would be great. Thanks!
I saw the book 1973 – 1977, maybe from 50s or 60s, Oak Hill Elem., Evansville, Indiana. Children’s book, red cover, mother and little boy in a large city, possibly European, Paris? Rome? London? Went through the day and showed clock time and what they did.
This picture book has a girl recalling something like ” when i was a girl on the island ….” she would ride her bike, play flashlight tag with her friends, pretend to be a ships capt, ect. Last page shows her grown up with her own daughter on the island on a beach or something.
The book had a light blue cloth binding. The plot revolved roughly around a young man who enters a cursed castle. He is invited in by floating ghostly hands. He has to pass a series of challenges, such as pulling yards of beautifully decorated linen through the eye of a needle. Another challenge involved miniature dogs on pillows (I’m not sure what he did with them). It was a very fantastical story. Illustration had bold black lines and solid colors. In the end I believe he marries a princess.
