But No Elephants
AuthorJerry Smath
ISBN0819310077
I'm glad I kept this on my list until I found a new library to join. It's one of those magically nostalgic classics, a 'sleeper' or 'cult' favorite, if you will. Kids, including child me, get a true kick, and feel the wonder of being able to empathize with the old lady, the pet salesman, and the critters too....
Curious George and the Pizza
AuthorMargret Rey

Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest

ISBN0440848784
Do things ever just magically appear from your past after years long forgotten? WELL, PICKLE THINGS DID.
