After reading this book. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. It was really a kind of book that anyone can enjoy. After reading this book, you will surely learn some life lesson like respect, honesty and love. A very cute and interesting story. I loved it nonetheless because it helps the imagination of my kids go freely. I highly appreciate the work the author carried out in this amazing book full of great stories.

Heron (Reception)

The story made me feel like a kid again. It was overwhelmingly good. This is the book you buy for the young ones to keep themselves busy with wonderful fantasy stories for children. It's actually quite good for a cartoon movie.

I would strongly recommend this book especially for those looking to make cartoon movies. This is the book movie producers are looking for, trust me.

My brother sister and I all loved this book and no one seems to know anything about it. It is mostly pictures. A boy gets a set of electric trains that come in big boxes and he sets them up in his house.

The train starts off but instead of following the tracks he set up it goes off on tracks that he had not set up and goes all over town. It goes through stores, peoples houses and I remember one picture in particular when the tracks run right across the table of 4 women playing bridge. It eventually comes back to his house and when he tries to show his parents what happened all the tracks are back to normal.

Maybe it has another name but I have been looking for it for at least 25 years with no success. I'm looking for a beautiful, each page fully illustrated, book I read to my kids when then were young--around Embarrassingly, I cannot remember much of the plot, but there was a Mrs. Mouse maybe rabbit, but I think mouse , who lived in a tree.

She had a kitchen, tea set, etc. At one point she was forced from her house, and when she came back it was in shambles, and she had to put it right again. That's all I can remember. The illustrations were detailed, and simply beautiful. I think the book was a little larger than most in size. I have googled and searched extensively, but to no avail.

Our copy was ruined when our basement flooded, and I regret not writing the name of it down! Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking for a book that my mother read to me when I was really little I don't remember the title, but it was about a woman in winter during a storm who opened the door and let in a cat When spring came they all went their separate ways and then come winter again she'd find them returning I remember this giant dog probably tan, tho book might not have been illustrated in color pictured larger than the Sphinx.

Sounds like a book I have from the mid 50's titled "Peanut". It's about a very small dog who makes friends with a Great Dane. Black and white drawings. Someone else is looking for this book and a viewer suggested William Pene du Bois' Otto books. Search "Sphinx" on your page search and you will see the other query. These books are small and square with illustrated paper covers, I think you would probably remember the format. I can't remember the Sphinx, but the book was not a series. We sold ours for quite a lot ten years ago, but here is the blurb: Delightfully illustrated story of a friendly puppy who grows big as a house.

Owl helps girl escape witch and dies from spell Can anyone tell me the name of this book? I looked through 58 children's owl books from our old listings and couldn't find it. Of course Garner's Owl Service is the first book that springs to mind, but it's not that. I read this beautiful story about a young adult who lives in an abandoned Carasouel or behind it and then saves a girl from drowning in the ocean. He doesn't think much of her at first, he gets a job on the beach at some shop. He soon grows to love the girl. It's a hard story to find and I would love to know the title and Author.

Thank you so very much it would mean alot to me! Im looking for 2 books my wife read as a child. The titles "me to mommy me to" and"18 teen cousins and me" Thanks. Our grandchildren have heard us talk about them so much. They are probably from the late 50's. Over the years I have remembered all the books I wanted to from growing up except this one.

Hardback book, newly published, first book I remember with "spelunking" being mentioned in story not title. Brother and sister, pieces of paper or a diary and clues in a cave, maybe in bottles to keep them dry. Recall deliberate parallels to Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in that I think there was an Uncle and maybe a Professor as well, maybe underground lake.

Could be mixing up some plots as I was a fan of everything from the Danny Dunn series to those with books featuring Mrs. Great site - looked through everything in case I had some answers for others, but the few I did, had been resolved by others. SeriesHello, your wonderfully descriptive query immediately brought to mind one of my childhood favourites. It was a hard cover and there was a picture on the front of Trixie in spelunking gear. That's the only possibility that comes to mind. Had a picture of her on the front wearing spelunking gear. Thanks for the list!

If any of you have enjoyed any of these books, take a look at the others. They all fit together. I'm not familiar with Five Yard Fuller Didn't mean to short-change Ethelyn M. Parkinson by only mentioning her "Rupert Piper" books. In fact, I probably enjoyed these even more, if that were possible:.

My mother gave away books from a series long ago at a yard sale. They were about young girls who survived disasters and danger. For instance, a blind girl rescued her little baby brother from a house fire, and two girls from Australia were home alone and survived a dingo attack. The series was non-fiction I believe and published in the late 's. The cover of one of the books featured a blonde girl paddling a canoe through a flood. I thought it was called "Brave Girls from Around the World," but that's not right. If anyone can think of anything, please let me know!

Hello, My husband is looking for a book he read growing up with a magic talking oven. That's all he remembers of it, unfortunately. The Phantom Tollbooth reminded him of it. If anybody remembers this childhood book that he read back in the s, please tell me the author and title. It was a quite exciting - someone tries to kidnap them etc,they eventually find the treasure which is hidden behind a waterfall,which turns out to be the Veil of the King Tried all kinds of searches but nothing remotely like it turns up!

Please can you help: I read this book about 10 years ago and it really made an impact on me. I can not remember the title or the author. The main character was a litle girl with red hair and freckles. She was orphaned and ran away from countless foster homes. It was set in a time when women could not vote and had no free will. Her name was Charlotte. She disguised herself as a boy and went by the name of Charlie. She lived in the barn on a farm that an old man owned and she never told him until he found her.

She loved horses and worked for the old man for a long time. Eventually she owned her own ranch, still as Charlie and continued on life as a boy, eventually voting as one. I am looking for a childrens book that I thought was called "the great oak". However, I cannot find it on any searches. What I remember about the book is that it is about a little boy who is growing up in the middle of Austria during WWII. There is some significance about an oak possibly different type? I believe they were very wealthy. The father dies in a huge explosion that he planned to also kill all the nazis that had taken over their place.

The Chestry Oak by Kate Seredy? The country and setting are right. There's a wonderful horse and a boy. It's been a while since I've read it, so I don't know about the explosion. It has a red jacket and a black horse. We've had many copies over the years and they always sell immediately, but try abebooks.

When I was little, I read a book about a boy and a girl named Ruth. I don't remember the boy's name. I remember that those two got into an adventure, and they met some monsters and I think they travelled with a boat at some point. In the end Ruth loses her ear, and that is all I remember clearly. But I remember the book had a happy ending and the children got home safely. I hope you can help me to find this book! I'm searching for a book I had as a child. The book was pale blue hard cover with black print approximately 7 inches wide by 10 inches high and about pages.

The illustrations were line-drawings for each project. Some of the projects were model airplanes, model boats, kites, pinwheels, puppets, and games. I can't remember the title exactly but there were words such as 'a boy can build' and I think it was published in Great Britain after Any title suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The child's hair grew so long, and under the door all the way to where birds built their nests and bugs lived there too I think the child's name was Morgatroyd? Anyhow, my little grand daughter seems encouraged to get her hair washed when I tell her this story. I used to read this to kids in pre-school in the early 90's. Help me to find this book please? Thank you very much. See if this one is it: Trying to remember the name of a children's book, set in England short chapter book with green boards, silver lettering on the cover and spine. Much of the book has to do with preparing for Christmas in rural England.

I've been trying to remember this book for years! My kids read it when they were small, so it must be at least 15 years old now. It was about baby animals who were having a sleepover, and there were all different beds which the animals were tucked into. The animals were made of card and slotted into the beds.

1. Lalibela in thirteenth century Ethiopia (Great Sacred Sites Series Book 2);
2. ON WRITING: STEVE HERON - MONIQUE MULLIGAN.
3. Conan Doyle: The Man Who Created Sherlock Holmes.
4. The Lost Boy?
5. Heron and Turtle.

It looked hand illustrated and was largely pastel colours. If anyone remembers this I'd be so grateful! I'd love to get it for my god child's third birthday!! I used to love these books when I was a kid.

It was a series of chapter books about a pair of frogs they may have been mice, but I'm pretty sure that they were frogs, though not positive and their adventures in the forest. In one book, a raccoon antagonizes them, but soon they befriend him and he ends up saving them from a flock of herons, and in another book,they wander into a den of weasels one of them was fairly fat!

I remember a scene in the book where all the weasels are sitting at the table, eating and saying their names presumably so the reader could tell them apart ; I do remember that two of them were named Frieda and Fritz. There may have been other books in this series, but regrettably, I don't remember them all. I'd thought for a while that these might have been a spin-off of Arnold Lobel's ever-popular Frog and Toad series, but I looked up Arnold Lobel's books on Amazon.

Any information would be much appreciated. They were also given some sort of magical bag with strings that rested between their shoulders which allowed them the power of flight Would really like to remember the name of this book. It would've been in the early 70's when I read it and I remember it as a trade paperback.

Kim - the book we are both remembering is 'the giant under the snow' by John Gordon - as soon as I read the description about finding an ancient buckle, it all fell into place. It was published in - and yes, there is a green man and the bag with the wind for flying! I remember reading this and loving it when I was about nine years old.

I have also desperately trying to find out what it was but have had no luck at all. I think I must have read it in Junior School in about Strangely I remember exactly the same details as you - especially about the bag that strapped onto their backs and then the pull strings - and the green man. I looked into the history and significance of all the chalk men carved into hillsides and have never quite been at ease with them since!

I remembered the heroine's name was Jonquil - don't ask me why - and found it almost immediately. It is strange how we initially remembered exactly the same details - but I am certain this is the one. It has been reissued since its first publication in Someone told me it might be the Children of Green Knowe - and I remembered a song about 'Green Noah, evil tree, evil fingers cant catch me!

Its definitely the John Gordon book. The cover photo is of a blonde girl sitting and warming her bare feet in the fireplace. It's in great condition. My husband and I have no children and are interested in selling this book, but do not know how to go about doing that. I'm looking for a book that my babysitter used to read to me when i was about 5 years old A girl named Kara asks everyone in her family if they'd play with her, but they're all too busy; she finds a big red blanket and plays with it, and then her whole family joins in. I have been trying to find this book for years.

It was a book of fairy tales, but it had one story in paticular about a brother and sister from a poor family whose Mom sends them town with their last money to buy bread for dinner before Father comes home. They pass a bakery and end up buying sweets. They are so upset by what they have done that they decide to run away from home.

Writer Talks: Steve Heron

While resting under a tree a little mischievious green elf comes out from behind a tree and tells them stories of a place called candy land. He leads them to candy land where they fill them selves full of sweets but soon become home sick. I know it is only one story, in a book of Fairy tales.
