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.
illustrated book of short stories about witches, goblins, fairies, giants, read in.80s. One story had a child would not go to bed and stayed up by the fire,visited by a small fairy that then burned itself on coal and screamed. Elves and the Shoemaker variation or about invisi elves n steal wallet
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.
1. Hardback children’s book, about the size of a Rolling Stone magazine. Had it in 1970’s, not sure when published. Contained 2-3 short stories I believe, I remember some black and white possibly checkerboard around the edge of cover. It was a picture book oriented children’s book. I remember a man wanting to win the hand of his girl, I think she was a princess, and a mad king he had to win over. I remember the king in one of the stories turns into a monster, and I remember mint chocolate chip ice cream. I am not sure if the king was a mint chocolate chip ice cream monster, or if the town was being flooded by a wave of it.

I remember a book about parents who go away on vacation and leave one cookie for their child to have every night they are gone. I saw it in the mid-70s and thought it was called Moon Cookies but I can’t find a book by that name. Can you help?
