This book has an Easter theme or at least involved rabbits who produced these really ornate Easter eggs; some, or at least one of them, had another world inside it. I recall something about a Grand bunny or master rabbit or similar; but, there also seemed to be some kind of theme where a child escapes their current world into one of the eggs (like a pied piper kind of story).
I’m looking for an old picture book my grandmother had. It had a boy, a little Asian boy, doing something, perhaps looking for dragons. He talked to a wise old man who later becomes the dragon in the sky at the very end of the book. It was my favorite book as a child.
The short story I am looking for was from a compilation of stories, probably a compilation of spooky stories. Not sure whether it was set in the United States or the United Kingdom. I think it was the UK. I read it a few years ago; it was about an island that belongs to the mer-folk/ sea beings. The island lies off a coastal town which connect to the mainland via jetty/pier and build a dancehall on it. The mer-folk throw up a huge storm on a dance night and separate the island from the mainland once again. They claim back their island. There was good description of the storm and its effect on the dancers I think. I would love to read it again.
Early 1980s book I checked out of my local grade school library. I left that school in 1986/1987 so it would have been published prior to that and it didn’t appear to be brand new when I checked it out. What I recall:
1980s children’s picture book about future vehicles (in a similar style of Syd Mead). My primary focus of the book was the submarine image as I was obsessed with the ocean at the time. The submarine appeared to have solar panels on the top of the hull and a raised platform (similar to the control portion of an aircraft carrier) that had the shape of a fin (like sports cars have on the rear) with two risers and a flattened, wing like top. I believe (but could be mistaken) that there was a helicopter landing pad on the raised platform.
The submarine itself was massive and the front swept back like a manta ray or a shark’s pectoral fins. The front “fins” had two, large engines (appeared to be similar to jet-intake engines like on a large plane) but obviously for aquatic propulsion.
I have attached a couple images: one is of a sports car tail-fin for reference and the other is a crude drawing of the submarine as I remember it. Emphasis on the “crude”.
I have been trying in vain to find the book, or at least the image in the book of the submarine. Hopefully, this will bring an end to my search! Thank you!
I am looking for a fantasy book in a series of books about young people of Celtic descent who live in the southern American states who encounter and fight beings of Celtic mythology. They travel on a boat which resembles a metallic dragon which shrinks to be carried. One of the young people is an Native American Indian who gets help from beings of the Native American Indian mythology. The books, I think, were published in the 1980s.
I’m looking for a children’s book that I had received in the early to mid 70s. It was a thin illustrated book about a calico cat that had kittens and lived in a candy store. Those are the details I’m completely sure about.
I’m relatively sure that one of the kittens was white or cream colored. It may have been discolored by dust or soot at one point. The kittens were adopted. I’m pretty sure an old man owned the store and he gave the dirty kitten to a sad little girl who loved him and cleaned off the dirt to discover its beautiful fur.
I’ve been looking for this book for decades.
I read this book in the 1980s.
Book features a long necked dinosaur skeleton in a museum. A child tries to feed the dinosaur food but it keeps dropping out of his bones. He then fills the dinosaur skeleton with coloured balloons.
Please help I loved this book

YA book from the 1970s about girls learning to become witches. I remember one scene where the test was that they couldn’t walk on the floor, so they were all walking on the furniture. Thanks!
I read this book to my children between 1966 and 1970. The story is about a rhinoceros who escapes from a zoo and two children, a boy and a girl, find the rhinoceros in a park and see to it that he gets home. My recollection is that the book had a brown cover. I don’t remember it having a dust jacket, although it may have when it was new. We must have purchased it at a local bookstore in Northridge, California.
