I am looking for a baby book for African-American kids, starts with Sweet brown eyed baby sleepy one you're tired from a day of fun, come here baby rest your head it's time for you to go to bed. Read to babies in 1995. Not sure of author or book title, Maybe Bedtime for Baby. Thank you
I found this book in the used bookstore when I was in middle school (1984).
A book was read aloud to my second grade class in 1955. The book was as I recall about a boy named CHAD ??? who was lost and was on a quest with the help of others along the way to find his home (I think he was from a wealthy or royal family). After a series of adventures he did indeed make it home. The only adventure I think that I remember (60 years ago) he and his pals came upon a remote steep canyon the floor of which was littered with precious stones. They threw raw meat into the canyon and buzzards picked up the meat – they ate the meat on the ground level and left the stones for Chad and his pals . I know this is vague and may not be very reliable but perhaps you can find the book title. It is funny the things that dwell in the memories of childhood. The story was a great adventure for the class of 2nd graders.
The book I want to find is a children’s book. I am guessing it was published between the 1980s and early 1990s. The plot of the story is that these two girls (likely sisters) that are princesses and they find this mysterious red thread in their kingdom or castle. They often repeat “What is it? What is it? What could it be?” as they follow this red thread. Eventually the story ends with them finding where this red thread originated from, it was a large cat playing with a giant roll of red yarn. All pictures are cartoon drawings. I think it was a small hardcover book bound by that gold or silver lining.
I’m looking for a book I had as a child in the late 70s, early 80s.
Please help me find a book I read 30+ years ago. The plot is about a young, very poor boy in India (I believe) who gathers rare Orchids to sell to a rich white (I believe) woman. With the money he earns, he is able to buy books. The books are rare and precious treasures to him. Every time he finds a rare orchid she buys it and he hides his money under his sleeping mat until he has enough to buy a book. I will try to remember more if possible. Thank you, this is a book that has stayed in my memory and I wish to find and read it again.
I am looking for a children’s book I read between 1985-1988. Maybe a scholastic book. It had a dark yellow paper back cover. It was a mystery book. It was geared for the 3rd to 5th grade crowd.
It was about a boy and a girl (siblings maybe) that were trapped in a house. There was a mummy and a statue of Anubis that came alive and chased them around the house. The whole book took place in one night
Please help me. I have been going crazy trying to remember!
