this is a young adult novel in which two children enter a world based on heraldry. An important unicorn is missing. There are two pages “Vaire” and “Ermine.” It would be published before 1975. Thanks!
This is a children’s book from the early to mid 1960’s. It is slightly taller than it is wide ; a little taller than a Golden Book. I remember the cover illustration as having the color green in it. It is not a hardcover but a laminate. The pair ride from country to city.
Looking for a book my Dad read to us back in the 60’s about a whale traveling around the world and every time he got to a new continent there would be a line something like this “and then the great, big, huge, enormous whale opened his great, big, huge, enormous mouth and shouted WHAT LAND IS THIS?
This is a story probably from late 80s early 90s (definitely no later than the mid 90s) where there is a little boy who explores the woods with his dog (scottish terrier?) with a flashlight and I remember the illustrations having a lot of dark colors with him returning to his well lit and warm home
Picture book from 80’s / early 90’s. Pretty sure hardcover; color illustrations; story about forest animals who all bring a gift to a new baby. Think new baby was a deer, but not sure. Raccoon brings a fish, duck brings a feather, someone else brings fresh berries etc. Help? Thanks!
From 1960-1970’s? Maybe a STORY BOOK Greetings type book – it was long and thin – A kitten trying to be helpful painting a house – House was a strange shape – Pyramid maybe? mixing wrong colors in buckets – making new colors. Man throws bucket -paints mix more in air – leaving spots on kitten
I am looking for a Children’s picture book which my daughter loved in 1985, I remember the title as A Package For Andy. It is the story of a boy named Andy, who receives a gift in the mail. When he opens the package, it contains a stuffed bear, Andy is very disappointed. He thinks it is a terrible present and tosses it aside. That night the bear comes into Andy’s bedroom and takes Andy on a great adventure. They fly out of his window into a wonderful fantasy world. Andy can fly with the aid of an umbrella. When Andy awakens loves the bear who becomes his favorite toy.
This one’s really vague. Some sort of animal (a dog? pig? cat? Susan?) roams the countryside at night. It encounters a creature with a magic bag full of whatever sandwich you want. The illustrations were all black and white and it was a small book.
A horror anthology read in the early 90s, found at a school book fair.
-A girl has the power to shrink people who she feels betray her and keeps them in a dollhouse or birdcage.
-Two siblings befriend the new neighbor only to find that she’s a vampire
-A girl keeps hearing something in the cellar begging her for help. It turns out to be some mummified creature that drags her under the floor and that it had meant “help” as in “I’m hungry”
-SHADOWS COME TO LIFE AND KILL PEOPLE. There’s this big scene at the end where the latest victim family is desperately trying to light matches to keep the shadows away.
I read this in the late 80’s / early 90’s. A girl discovers that her friends are using a cube like device that when activated sends them on adventures. The only adventure I remember is all of them being shrunk and swimming in a pool of spilled soda. But with each use, they lose more of their knowledge and start using other words because they can’t remember the actual one-in one case saying “Hitchcock” instead of ketchup. The girl finds out through her dreams(?) that the device has been sent from another world by a queen who’s already drained all of her subjects of all their knowledge. I remember the cover was mainly black with the girl looking into a light.
