This is a children’s book – little girl, house floods, parents are asleep while all their belongs float around them. She jumps across floating furniture down to the kitchen and finds a polar bear in the fridge. Messier style of illustration.

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.
Seeking a book of advertising-related fables from late 1960s or early 1970s(?) including the first story in which the cereal companies in competition keep upping the ante until they finally sell boxes of cereal containing no cereal, only prizes.
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.
