I’m looking for a book i had when i was a child in the 1960’s. I called this book “Little Pink Rosie” but don’t think that was its actual title. Its about a pink goat that gets kidnapped by foxes. I remember monkeys although i can’t be certain She’s kept in some sort of cage.
A children’s book about a bear who works for/meets Santa Claus. The end of the book involves the bear somehow (accidentally?) breaking a rainbow, which falls in pieces on top of a Christmas tree thus creating ornaments.
I’d love it if you can find this book!
It’s a great story. A lady lives alone, doesn’t like to go out much and has a pet cat. Her brother is a traveler and has a great furry hat. He comes to visit his sister and when he leaves the cat masquerades himself as a hat so that he can have adventures and the lady is more than happy to have such a very mellow cat (the hat!)

I read in elementary school in mid-1960’s about a boy with a monkey getting into mischief. One particular part the boy is bouncing on a trampoline with the monkey & the monkey grabs a hold of the roof bracing overhead. Been 50 years since I read the book & I no longer recall the title. Any help?
I am trying to locate a book for a friend. The title is not known and it was probably published in the late1940’s or early 1950’s. Some Disney friends went looking for gold in the Yukon and ran into Peg-Leg Pete. While trying to escape him one of the friends shook hands with a totem pole and a trap door opened up to save them from Peg-Leg.
I have been searching for a book that I read in first grade, and I can not find it to save my life.
The book is about a rabbit or possibly a mouse. He works in a grocery store, and wins the lottery. He wastes the money he wins on a car with no engine, a mansion that is too big for him, and a motorcycle so that he can move back and forth through the mansion.
The book ends with the mouse or bunny broke, and returning to work at the grocery store. he buys another lottery ticket on the last page i think.
I was in the first grade in 1988-89, so my memory may not be that great of the details. I think this was a scholastic book- we had book fairs and mailers come home all the time, and that might have been how I ended up with this book.
I have a first grader that is starting chapter books, and I would love to give him this book. I have very fond memories of reading and laughing at how silly it was. Your help is much appreciated.
This is a picture book from the early seventies featuring, I believe, a frog who invites people to her birthday party but no one ends up coming. I think this is because she holds it in the water and serves foods that only she likes. I have a distinct memory of an illustration in which the frog is sitting alone on a lily pad with a party hat askew on her head. She has prepared many gelatin molds with flies and they are beginning to melt. She ends up arranging a different party with food to suit her guests and everyone comes. Please help me!
The book is a large, blue cloth covered, fully illustrated book similar to the Waldo books. It was about a caveman with orange hair who traveled through different eras of history – wild west, Rome, Egypt, with large, detailed illustrations of people, activities and buildings. Late 80s.
I’m looking for a book I read around 1987. It was a seasonal children’s picture book for valentines day. It was hardback and I don’t remember it having words. I believe it was mostly black and white except for the hearts (valentines)I remember some being mailed and remember it raining hearts.
