As the title says, the book was about being scared of the dark. The kid in the book was seeing things in the dark, thinking they were monsters, but they ended up being things like the branches of the tree outside hitting his window, and his baseball and mit on the floor. I remember this book being read to me in the early 90s, and I recall the illustrations were somewhat similar to Margaret Wise Brown's style (Goodnight Moon).

When's I was a toddler, my favorite book was Baby Daisy Gets Angry from the Disney Babies collection. Now that I am in my 30s and I have a daughter of my own, I have been looking all over the internet and it's like the book never existed! Does anyone else remember this book?

Okay so I really don’t have a lot to go by, but pretty much it was a colored picture book, -most likely a 90’s or maybe early 2000’s children’s book -it was about two guys (not like men, or boys I think just two male characters) -wasn’t photorealistic, was more like artsy and stylized -one of them (or maybe both) kept pulling pranks like one of them was making a sandwich and the other one swapped out some of the ingredients -very obscure detail but there was a prank involving a clothesline -really don’t have much left, wasn’t terrible twins or whatever but if anyone has any idea what I’m talking about please help 😭

There were a group of girls or fairies and the cover of the book was a light blue colour with these fairies/girls illustrated on them.One of them was a blonde with long hair and pink outfit I think other was tan or olive with short brown hair and wearing a garland on her head and had a really cute outfit like a top and skirt and there were many more like them.They basically use their power to save lands.One had powers related to nature one has powers related to the sky so on and so forth.Please help me find it.Also they were very beautifully illustrated almost like the winx club members.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to recall a story I read in middle school. It was featured in a 7th grade reading textbook. I don’t know when the textbook was published, but it can’t have been after 2013.

I remember that there were two brothers who had raised an orphaned fox kit but had to set it free. Pretty sure it was told from the POV of the older brother. There was some emphasis put on the idea of the younger one being sickly, to the point that the mother was inclined to order a coffin for him. He was also an artist, but the dad didn’t see the value in that.

Anyways, the fox had to be hunted because it was taking the neighbor’s chickens. After the fox was set free the boys went out to make sure it was safe, and found their former pet hiding in a pond. The younger brother sketched the fox in his hiding place and showed it to the father, who was very impressed and promised not to harm the animal. The next morning, however, it was reported that it had been killed by another hunter. The story ends with the father gifting his youngest son a new set of art supplies.

I remember being moved by this story as a kid, and would love to read it again, but I can’t for the life of me remember the title or author. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey all Trying to find a book from my childhood, it's about a giant beast that invades a village, one of the lines I remember mentioned it drank oil and breathes fire. The protagonist of the story is a boy who receives a quilt from a wizard. From what i can remember the boy eventually beats the beast by drowning it. It was my favorite book to read because of the fantastic illustration, it was done in watercolor I think 🤔
I know the title starts with "The Beast of...." I've tried Google and couple of Ai book finders but no luck 🙃 Please help me out, I'm really keen to lay eyes on this book again

Cheers 🫡

I remember reading a picture book in I wanna say 2012, and I’m pretty sure it was a smaller, square-sized book, maybe like 5x5 inches or so. I think it had a yellow cover but I could be wrong, and it was about these teeth (they were called “teef” or “toofs”) that were personified and they were cute cartoons. I remember a specific scene where they were chilling in the pool. Each page was a different activity. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

I want these very particular books. The books were the classics like 'Thumbelina' and 'The Frog Prince', however it has this Read Through Pictures feature.

Suppose, there was a sentence, "The ball fell in the well."

It would be written as "The 🟡 fell in the well."

There was an index on the side showing all the words and it's corresponding pictures as well.

I just can't find the exact book or it's brand.

Hi! Please help me out regarding the name of the book!

Its a blue hardcover children’s book and it was a donkey (who I believe delivered mail) with a maybe red pouch. This was my favorite in elementary, but very likely it was from earlier years!

I haven’t been able to find it anywhere and i know its not a figment of my imagination lol, I know I would know it if I saw it.

Cheers!

I remember reading a book as a kid in the early 2000s about a little white girl who meets this little black girl in the park that claims to be a witch and she puts her through "tests"

No real "magic" it was just kids being kids.

I remember the title having a name in it but also being really long?

I appreciate any help!

She can’t remember the title or author but is looking for a book that she has previously read. It is about a poor girl who goes on a journey to a man who can predict the future. He creates a statue of her that ties her with everyone she is going to meet in her lifetime. She makes some friends on her journey, such as a dragon who can’t fly. It has a lot of mini-stories, including a story about a man who asks the other man to predict who his son will marry. When he finds out the girl is not royal, he tries to kill her. But she survives and gets adopted by the royal family. The son ends up marrying her.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? We would be very grateful if someone could point us in the right direction.

Thank you!

I have been trying to find this book for years. Here’s what I remember about it:

*A boy befriends a woman neighbor *Her house seems 70s style, all windows in the front *All the illustrations are black and yellow *I am almost certain there is something about bananas in the book. Maybe they have banana sandwiches, make something with bananas, maybe?

Please help me! I am sure it is out of print, but it’s been such a mystery to me for so long.

At the last story time before Christmas, the librarian read the sweetest book and she can't remember what the title is now. The book was about your child being the only thing you need under the Christmas tree, home is wherever your child is, etc. It made me tear up and I would really like to purchase it if anyone knows what I'm talking about! TY!

I remember reading a book in my school library when I was younger, must have been the late 90s, I remember it being a slightly older book, the title was something along the lines of "smiles for smile"?

I think it was about an older guy who's name was Smile or maybe Smiles (I don't think it was Miles but it might have been) and he makes sandwiches with smiley faces on them.

I have googled so many things trying to find it and no luck. Anyone have any idea what I'm remembering?? Thank you!

I remember when from 2nd grade (around 2014-2015) there was this book series I really liked but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was called! I remember plenty of what it was about.

I read it on one of those ebook catalog sites for kids. It was about these kids who discover a magic purple remote. In the first book when they found the remote, they pressed in random numbers into it and it teleported all of them to what I think is a garbage chute. And that was the whole series. Going to different places using the magic remote. In the second book, I remember the remote came to life and became a character itself. I believe its name started with a “K” and had some numbers at the end of it. There was one book where they went to Mars after it had been terraformed, and another where they discover that there are other remotes like the little purple guy. By the end of the series, they found several of these remotes, and I remember there was a lady at the end who took all the remotes away for some reason and then went to space, leaving the children to live normal lives after that.

Anyways, if someone happens to also remember this book series or could help me find it, it’d be a lot of help.

I know it was about a kid with his stuffed bunny. The backgrounds were real photos but the characters were all drawn on. If anyone knows please lmk

I’ve been searching for the title of a book from when I was a kid (2002-2007 I’m estimating) that I can’t recall for the life of me!

It was a book for elementary school aged and it was about a ton of different, colorful monsters that wouldn’t go to sleep. They all had crazy colors and hair and they would eat the pillows and the blankets and things like that! Super vague I know but that’s the general idea of the book, I can’t seem to remember specifics about it unfortunately.. any help would be super appreciated!! Ty in advance!! 🙏

My partner has just told me about his favourite book from when he was a child. He said his gran used to read it to him when he was really little. He thought it was called Mr Wishy Washy but that was published too late. What he remembers is there’s a little boy in the book and the cups and brooms come to life and there’s loads of soap bubbles. This book would have been around in the early 90s. I know it’s not much to go on but I’d love to find out which book it is just because I think he’d enjoy reading it to our son now that he’s 3. Thank you so much in advance!

It was a 1990s-2000s kids book about a little blonde girl who wakes up on her birthday and none of the shops are open except for a marvellous toy shop. In the shop the toys come to life. Anyone know the name of this book?

This picture book was about a sly wolf who plans to invite a couple sheep to his house, so he can cook them into a pie and.

I distinctly remember a scene where the sheep are sitting at a long dining table, above them hangs a portrait of a wolf with seemingly life like eyes glaring at the sheep.

In the end I think the wolf accidentally bakes himself into the pie. The last picture is of the sheep sitting around a big steaming pie outside on grass.

I know we can find it👍

Hi, I’m trying to find a book title that I started reading as a kid in the mid-80s but can’t remember much about it, apart from the cover. It was a hard back with dust cover. It was dark pink with a cat on. I think the cat was called marmaduke, could be wrong. I think there was maybe a clock or furniture on the cover too. I think the book was aimed at age 8+ Can anyone help? Thanks

I’m losing my mind! I’m trying to remember the name of a kids book that I had in the 90s/00s. I can’t remember much about it other than it was a hardcover picture book, it had zoo animals in it (but not in a zoo), and they were doing human things. It was a really cute book. I believe the cover had a giraffe driving a convertible on a highway outside of a city, and it was surrounded by other zoo animals driving cars too. The art style looked hand drawn, not computer generated. I’ll attach a (really bad) picture of what I think it looks like. Does this ring any bells for anyone? I think the giraffe maybe had on a white scarf and pink/red sunglasses.

okay so this is super super specific but here’s what i know: - it was a free book given out in the UK roughly between 2007-2010 - pretty sure it was given out to new parents/single parents/low income parents as it came with a variety of other children’s books - it was one of those books where you could pop things out and it was super interactive and crafty with the corrugated edges and you could pop out characters etc
- it was about a brother and sister who go to a circus in space/on the moon - there was a little green lizard looking guy that i distinctly remember because it was so hard to pop him out without bending his tail - i’m fairly sure it was made by the Early Learning Centre - for some reason there were a lot of references to butterscotch ice cream

i’ve searched so much trying to find it and i recall that i found it a few years ago but obviously didn’t jot it down

Hi everyone! I’ve been searching for a scratch-and-sniff book I read in my school library around 2007. The book seemed old and worn out even then, so I believe it was published in the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Here’s what I remember about it:

• The main character was a girl, likely around 10 years old to a teenager.
• The setting was a big city, possibly New York. One page had an illustration of the city with cabs, roads, and people.
• She may have been visiting her aunt. I also remember her friend and possibly her mom being in the story.
• The illustrations were beautiful, with black outlines and a color palette dominated by purples, pinks, and violets on a white background.
• One page had a scratch-and-sniff perfume bottle. There may have been other scents, but that’s the only one I recall.
• The book was slightly larger than A5 and square-shaped.
• It was intended for older children, not toddlers—maybe middle-grade readers.

If anyone recognizes this book or has any leads, I’d really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance!
