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.
I am trying to find a book that I remember reading as a child.
I do not remember the title but I think it was from the 1950’s.
It was a thin book about the size of a Golden Book.
At the end of the story the main character paints all of the landscaping overnight bright and beautiful colors, which surprises everyone the next morning… 🙂
I only remember a couple pages from this book from my childhood, but the images haunt me-would love to see the book today: The book has colorful illustrations of a horse walking down a street lined with fruit/ flower stands. The horse has on a wide- brimmed hat, I believe made of flowers.

Story about family of 7 kittens-adored in my childhood in late 50’s-early 60’s. Picture book size as I remember, dark blue (?) paper covers. Kittens wear different dresses/accessories each day of week. Mon do wash, Tues clean house… Kittens are different colors: either white or gray or black, etc.
children’s storybook with pictures, of a girl who had a large green floppy cat pillow she carried around. Either the cat pillow was green or the cat pillow’s eyes were green. The rest of the pictures may have been without color. Cover was hardback and green, like fabric. Written maybe mid-70’s.
