I don’t know the title of this book, I had it as a child. It was a picture book that depicted a city (I believe American) as it changed through the decades. It started as a farm town and then buildings continued to be added. It had a similar feel as Annos counting book. I hope you can help me with the name, I’ve been searching for it for years.

354N: Peaches and Her Pet Squirrel
I am inquiring about a book I read years ago, borrowed from a friend, about a young lady who lived in Appalachia, maybe with her grandfather. She eventually went to town, met a man who ended up taking her to his home in a foreign country. She had a pet squirrel who showed up at inopportune times. I think her name was Peaches, and it might be in the title of the book. This was the funniest book I have ever read and would love to own it and read again. I so hope you can help me.
