During the pioneer days maybe? Only has a few “biscuits” with her. A couple chapters were read aloud in 1970 6th grade Catholic school.I never got to check the book out. Title might have girls name in it.
The protagonist is a girl who finds a key. The key unlocks some sort of door that allows her to time travel. She uses this door to meet important historical figures, one of which being Henry the 8th.
I know it isn’t much to go by, but I have a possible lead on a book titled “Henry the Eighth’s Hat”.
I must have read this book when I was in 3rd-5th grade, so it would have to be published prior to 1980. Parts of the plot I can recall is a young girl goes away from home, I think she goes to the south or was from the south, and she was probably 10-12 years old, meets a boy that is a little older than she is, and she befriends him, but he ultimately gets killed by some mean boys who drag him to his death with a car I believe. I think it takes place over the summer, because I don’t recall any school parts.
A princess and a peasant girl swap places. The princess is lonely, and hates being made to embroider (she embroiders tiny frogs and snakes in a corner of the canvas) or to dress up and go and see the countess with her mother. The peasant girl comes from a large noisy family and rarely gets any attention or nice clothes. They meet and swap places. The peasant girl can embroider beautifully and asks if she may have a new dress and visit the countess much to her unknowing mother’s delight. The princess loves having dirt between her bare feet, finding frogs and sitting up to the table with a noisy family.
They end up staying in their new roles.
This book was probably produced around the 1989-1990.
It had beautiful whimsical illustrations and I think, a red cover.
Children’s picture book definitely pre-2000 and probably earlier. Young girl lives on a honey farm, possibly w/ her grandmother. Girl has to get honey from cellar but is scared by “monster” who is maybe a man w/ hat and trenchcoat. He may be chased by bees at the end. Soft, pastel-like illustrations.
A group of wild children live in jungle. They each have special qualities (one who talks to crocodiles, one who lives with tigers, etc.) and the MC is a boy who sits on clouds and rides them around. Adults come and adopt all the kids but cloud boy, who remains wild.
Children’s book from prob 1981-1984. It’s about mythical creatures, including cyclops, sirens, griffin, loch ness, bigfoot, minotaur. The cover was possibly sky blue, and some illustrations were cyclops w/lightning bolt, bigfoot with skulls. Ordered from scholastic fair, can’t remember title/author.
I remember my Grandmother reading us this book in the late 70’s, though the book looked much older. I really think it was called ‘The Spiderman’ but it was written way before the Marvel comic book character, and was actually about a man who could turn himself into a little spider. I remember it had black and white illustrations, which showed him as a tiny black spider with a strange man’s face. The pictures were actually pretty comical, but I don’t think that was the intention.
Young adult book about a teenage girl who lives maybe in London/England in a townhouse. She removes the bricks between her house and the adjoining one next door. I don’t recall why. But she does end up using that exit. There is a fire in her house and she helps her parents escape through that wall.
Children’s book about a little cookie girl who I think was separated from her mother or was adopted or something but was identified by a raisin behind her knee. She looks like a little gingerbread girl with blond hair I think. It is not The Little Cookie Girl book-I checked.
