Hi! I’m looking for a chapter book I read in fourth grade, four years ago. I think the cover was orange, and had a huge clock on the ground, with a girl near it. At the beginning of the book, the girl goes to have tea with her neighbor, but she somehow ends up in another world. She meets someone and becomes friends with him. But, they get locked up, maybe in something like a factory? Everyone who works there is hypnotized, and her friend gets hypnotized. I want to say that she flies from a cliff(or a cloud), to the top of a huge clock tower to save him. Thanks!

Hello, in the early 2000’s when I was a child my mom would read us a book about a little chick traveling around a farm and the book had a cardboard/ card stock chick that you could actually fit through a slit in each page to take you to the next part of the story. I cannot remember the name of this book. Please help!

I think it was a book? Might have been a Computer game published by Scholastic, I saw it at one of their warehouse sales, but anyhow, it had a purple haired girl that had an evil/mad scientist thing going for her.

Looking for a children’s book we read to our children in 1970’s era.

Looking for a book of lots of different stories by lots of different authors. I specifically remember a poem by Shel Silverstein in it called Hug-o-war and a story about a boy who imagines worlds through his attic windows. I believe there was also a story about a guy who went to a masquerade and made his costume out of lots of fabric scraps and one about a boy who was trying to give a letter to a girl but it got blown away in a storm and he had to chase it. I would really love to figure out what book this is! Thank you!

Just Right by Lilian Moore.

Farmer West is getting old and and it is becoming difficult for him to take care of his farm – but when he decides to sell, all of the prospective buyers want to make changes that he finds unacceptable. One wants to fill in his lake, another wants to cut down all the trees for timber, and still another wants to plow up the pasture. Finally, he realizes that he can’t allow anyone to change things on his beloved farm, because it’s ‘just right’ as it is. In the end, his grandson Tommy comes to visit him – and they make a birdhouse out of the “For Sale” sign.

I am looking for a picture book that had mice dressed as soldiers fighting with hit water bottles to warm up the trees. They were fighting black mice or rats who were the forces of winter. It’s probably 20 or 25 years old.

Ok so I need help looking for an old children’s book from the early 2000s. It might not have been originally published during that time, but it was during my early years of school that I remember reading the book. I don’t remember the plot story or the title, so I’ll do my best describing what I do remember. So it was a bout a frog and the animals could talk like humans. So the frog went on an adventure, I’m not sure if he was going to see a person or if he was traveling to a specific destination, I just remember he went on an adventure. And there’s one scene in particular that I remember. In one scene he was wearing a yellow raincoat(or it could have been red but I’m sure it was yellow) and it was raining and he happened to be crossing the sea or the river, some body of water. And I’m not sure of this detail, but I do recall that he also traveled in a tiny umbrella. Unfortunately that’s all I do remember.

I’ve been looking at illustrations from the wind in the willows and they do appear to be similar but I don’t remember it to be that book specifically. Maybe it was the same artist but a different work??? I’m sorry if my memories are too vague to pinpoint the book. But any help is appreciated!

book about kids who live in a 6 story house. one kid named Toad has a male calico cat

I am looking for a book, from the 90’s, that I had as a kid. It was a kind of puzzle book, with really nice illustrations. All I can remember about it, is I think there was like a letter from a long lost uncle, to you the reader, asking your to solve all the puzzles in the book. I’m not 100% sure, but I believe you were solving the puzzles to get to a treasure, but I’m not positive. The page I remember best, was a search and find page. You were looking for the outline of animals throughout the page that had a lovely illustration. I feel like there was a picture of a big tree on the front. And maybe something about a treehouse. That is all I can remember. I desperately want to find this book to read with my three daughters. We are big readers and I remember reading this book over and over again because I loved it so much. It would mean the world to me of I could find out what this book was called.

Maybe Uncle by J.P. Martin – or another book in the series?

Are you thinking of The Gunniwolf?

http://www.vintagechildrensbooksmykidloves.com/2008/03/gunniwolf.html

It might have been a reprint of Amanda by Wolo, although that is a much older book. Look at the picture on the boards rather than the jacket. Collectible editions are expensive but it was reprinted frequently. https://www.google.com/search?q=amanda+by+wolo&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj64u22vI3xAhWIXM0KHYmhDvUQ_AUoA3oECAEQBQ&biw=1141&bih=697

I’m looking for a book about a little witch, her name was Wendy. It was not Casper the ghost related. I think maybe she has sisters. It would be from the 1980s. I woudll love to find this for the nostalgia.

Hi! I’m looking for the title of an old children’s book about kittens in a pet shop I believe. I know one was white and one was calico but I think there were a couple more. I’m pretty sure it was about them finding people to adopt them too. Please help!

Looking for a book with color illustration. The man lives on land near the water and grows watercress and such to eat

Greetings, I am searching for a children’s book that is probably from the early 1970’s that features two flying horses that flew in the night sky. One horse was red and the other was blue. I am still haunted by this book and would love any ideas this community has to guide me to it, as I cannot recall either the illustrator nor the author’s name. I may be mistaken, but it seems to have been hard bound with a totally royal-ish blue cover …??? I appreciate your input!

Im looking for a book about a female mouse that was in a forest and her life in that forest…she eventually has babies and she is in a tree stump at some point…maybe eating raspberries or strawberries. I remember an olive green hardcover with black and white drawing illustrations. Here is your other post for more information: Hi! When I was a kid I would go to the local salvation army with my mom and buy books from the childrens/young adult section. Im looking for one that was a hardcover, olive green in color with black and white illustrations about a mouse in a forest and her life…she eventually has babies. I think she eats raspberries maybe in the book? I feel like it was 70’s are older.

Perhaps The Great Blueness by Arnold Lobel.
When a wizard discovered that each color he invented for the colorless world had a different emotional effect on people, he luckily had an accident which resulted in red apples, green leaves, and yellow bananas

Hi, I’m looking for a children’s picture book set with a very subtle art style that looked like watercolor and I believe the characters were animals. The main book i remember from the set had a birthday party where you could count how many balloons, cookies, and cupcakes were at the party. I read it in the early 2000s so it was probably from around then or the 90s.

I am looking for a book written in the late 1960s or early 1970s. It was about a girl who owned a horse that was either white or palomino. At some point her father believes the horse has rabies, but it turns out it ate green apples.

I’m looking for a children’s book about a counting bunny. I remember the beginning goes “one watermelon does the trick for reaching two tomatoes quick they’re red and ripe and should taste fine so bunny plucks them from the vine”

Hi, my colleague and I are searching for a book about a little girl who hates getting dressed. Her mother ends up just putting different clothes over the top of the previous ones until of course she gets very large and very hot! We would have come across it in Australia in the 90s or early 2000s, although the book could be older. I have a vague memory of it being read on ‘Playschool’. At a guess, the title includes the girl’s name. All suggestions appreciated!

I read a fairly thin, children’s book in about 2008 that I’ve been trying to find. All I can remember is that there was a young boy who used to live in this house and he drowned in the backyard lake/pond. I’m pretty sure he was either haunting the home or simply lingering around afterwards. Not sure if anyone else in the home could sense or see him. I know it’s not much to go off but would really appreciate any books that come to your mind after reading this!

looking for a book that I read during the 1960s in elementary school. The main character’s name was Leigh. I remember that she was new to her school. I remember that she sewed herself an outfit that involved autumn leaves. Hoping someone remembers this book.

I’m looking for a book about a group of kids who go on an excursion (maybe a class field trip?) to an aquarium where they spend the night. The kids get a tour through the aquarium where they are told about a myth of a scary sea creature (my sister think it’s a squid). Everyone goes to sleep but the main character stays awake and has a scary experience thinking it’s the evil creature, but at the end it turns out it was all coincidences or a prank. My sister read this book around 2014/2015 but the book is older than that

It sounds a bit like Tell Me a Mitzi, the part where Mitzi’s father takes her and baby Jacob to see a parade, but there’s no babysitter.

I am looking for a children’s book of tales that my aunt owned from her childhood in the 1920s and 1930s. There were several interesting sories. One was about a boy who was told that he talked too much. One morning, he woke up with some kind of strong mask/muzzle attached to his face so he couldn’t talk. I don’t remember the ending. Another story was about a tangle/clump of sewing thread or yarn that kept growing and growing. It was called something like “The Wuzzle”. Another story was about a little girl who lived in a basement cellar. One day, alot of coal was poured into her cellar from the street window. The title might have been something like “Tales/Stories from Millenry Street/Row/Lane, or something like that. Actually, reading Joe’s message below, it seems that this would have been a similiar type of parable book.
