I remember a book from the late 80's 's about a girl who is not supposed to go into the forest but goes further and further to get the pretty flowers. She keeps saying she will only get a few more but the further she goes the prettier they get. Finally she has to run home because the monster in the woods chased her home, like her mother warned her about.
I always loved and once memorized this book. The copy I have lacks cover and first few pages. It must have come from a 'dime store', or grocery rack, and started out: She did not know how she got there, but she awakened one morning in the toe of a slipper". It was read to me, then I read and reread this, read it to each child I baby sat with and to the campers where I was counselor, and my children. I found an abreviated copy in the 's which was a poor substitute for it. Mine came from the early 's. This would be a dream come true to find it again.
There are some on abe from , the edition we have had, but the first edition seems to be scarce. The early ones are expensive, but you could probably get one for less eventually on ebay. Perhaps you could purchase a very beat up one with the front intact and combine the two books. I am looking for a children's bookI think it is called "The Big Fish".
It is about a boy and his father and something about canoeing. An illustration I remember in the book is the father and the boy carrying the canoe over their heads. It has a picture on every or almost every page and everything is in black and white. I cannot find it anywhere on any search engine. The book was a compilation of stories. I remember I loved the illustrations in this book, particularly this story.
If ou have any suggestions, that would be fantastic. Not sure when the book was published, but was before the 90s. Only part I remember is a quote "when God made dogs, He made dogs. I remember a book I had in the 60's that looked like Barbie and she shrunk down and had to find a frog to help her.
It was a large picture book. I only remember bits and pieces of the pictures. I remember her shrinking and her clothes being too big and then of her meeting a toad. Woul dappreciate any help been trying to remember it for years. This book was a large hard covered book that was well illistrated with a lot of short stories aboutbgiants and woodcuts out witting the bad giant etc..
Early 's at school, 3 or 4 book series about a Futuristic Industrial tyrannical World where the equivalent of 'Gladiators' fought to the death in arena's. I think in groups of upto 3 or 4, might have been solo. I think the lead character Vado, Varga, Vardo something like this wishes to be more, escapes etc. That or he was simply proud of his winning to better improve the faction he was loyal to.
Books where 7x5inch soft back, very colorful with one I think having a Grilled Masked type figure holding his gauntleted hand with spikes up. I posted below, it's a coming of age story about a teenager who works for some place on the beach and lives behind or near an abandoned Carasouel his Uncle or father left him. He is an orpahn and one night this young girl goes swimming in the ocean and he saves her from drowning.
He doesn't think much of her but the two build a bond as the book goes on. The girl is supposed to be really skinny and he describes her as ugly and not his type. She is broken like him, and has nightmares. It's a hard book to find, because I read it back in the late 90's it was a young adult fiction. It had a carasouel with horses on the front cover, I just don't remember the name or authoer.
Any help would be great! Lisa Here is Lisa's previous post, so all the information is together, Suzanne. 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! I was given the book Christmas or It had lots of fun Christmas stories. One was a puppy who found a home for Christmas. My favorie was a "German" story about an uncle in a log cabin jail who carved gifts for his niece and nephew.
They exchanged the gifts and long Christmas cookies through the jail keyhole. As I recall it has individual stories in it about a naughty fox named Frankie Fox and a bunny that saves the day. The rabbit's name might be Chipper or Chester. One of the stories is about the rabbit saving a candy store and another about him preventing a train from being wrecked by foiling Frankie's plans.
Thanks for any help! I am looking for a hardback covered book of bedtime stories for children from Some of the stories are " A windy day", "blowing bubbles", "scrambled eggs", "Swimming lessons", "a pantomime", "Winston goes to sea", " Vera and her pony", " the diary", "the cat who read", Emma goes shopping", "moving day", "the twins and the tree house", "space age Jimmy", "camping out". It is possible that this was a book from the U. The stories are one and two pages long with a bit of illustration under the caption or at the bottom of the page.
I'm looking for a text book that had a purple cover with a picture of a bee. I'm looking for a book I read as a child in the 90s. Not sure when it was published. I remember a little girl who walks home from school because she skins her knee, I think. She walks by herself but on the way she talks to rocks, flowers and trees.
There's a thunderstorm and she finally makes it home.

If you are able to Have you voted yet? If you are in an early voting or mail in ballot state remember to vote today When we see the long lines of people who have waited hours in Florida to cast their ballots, we want to pay our respects to our wonderful Polk County Oregon Clerk, Val Unger, who makes sure that every count is correct and that every person who wants to vote has the information to do so. Im looking for a childrens book about a plant looks like a monstera philodendron with large glossy leaves that grows and grows and eventually takes over the inside of house - it has a picture in it of a boy playing a piano in a room filled with the plant.
It much have been around in the early 70s when i was a child. Any pointers would be appreciated. I know this book. It was published in Scholastic and had a yellow cover with the plants coming out of the house, kind of a family story. Once the Election is over, I'll be able to think of it. Meanwhile perhaps someone else will. Here are some other giant plant books which are NOT your book!
A funny version of this theme, see also Cresswell's Bongleweed. How could Becky and her father, the gardener, bear to hurt it! Was it perhaps the Finches' Fabulous Furnace by Drury, also from the 70's? The Finch family moves into an old house with a secret source of heat, a small volcano, which makes everything warmer. My grandmother used to have an old book a lot of us grand kids used to read. It was approx b5 size and about 2inches thick. It had beautiful illustrations in it.
Some of the stories it had in it were "puss in boots", "the gingerbread man", Ali baba, rumpelstilskin, and a whole lot more. I can't remember the title of this book but the only thing I can remember is that the cover was a olive green colour, with a dark green band and an image of a castle on the covers spine.
Any help in finding out the name of this book would be greatly appreciated and maybe a picture too. I think i have that book. There is an old pic of a mother sitting with two little girls. Thank you Millie, I certainly missed this one. This book is the first of 12 Rainbow Editions of the Book House.
See our page for more than you want to know about Book Houses! Scroll about a third of the way down to see the book you are talking about. I remember reading this book years ago; I think it may have been from the '80s. It took place in a circus, and the book began with a clown asking the reader to hold a string for him It may have been a rope, but I'm pretty sure it was a string , and the reader then follows the string, which leads them to a series of other circus performers in humorous situations most of said circus performers had odd names, though regrettably I don't remember what they were.
There were acrobats, a man and a lady with a nasty little dog whose name was Spotted Shrimp; he was black with white spots , and I think even some animals, such as elephants. The book eventually ends with something like, "So, the next time you're at the circus and a clown asks you to hold a string, follow it. You never know what you might find.

The books title was something like,"What's On the Other End? I remember reading this book when I was a kid. I think it was made in the '80s. A little boy who I believe had brown hair is looking for a pet, and visits this very odd pet shop; I remember that the entire story was in rhyme. The pet shop owner presents him with several different pets, each with some bizzare and annoying trait, such as a robot-like creature who cleans up everything and a minotaur-like creature who messes up everything, a creature with a scissors-shaped head and I think a glue-brush shaped tail who cuts and glues whatever he can get his hands on, several tiny, car shaped creatures who go zooming everywhere, a raccoon in I think a Centurion helmet who causes various kinds of mischief, and a giant sphinx-like creature with a TV-screen face who breathes fire.
The boy as one might suppose turns each one of them down, until he's presented with a regular, normal dog. The pet shop owner insists that the boy couldn't possibly want the dog "She does not cut, she does not glue, she is not the pet for you! Any information would be much appreciated! I am looking for a picture book in print in the 's to 's. It was a book of colors.

Some of the words were as follows: Brown bear my brown bear smiles Pink doll my pink doll sleeps Purpe pinwheel my purple pinwheel twirls Gray car my gray car zooms Yellow horn my yellow horn toots Green boat my green boat sails Black engine my black engies goes Thanks! My mother read to me from a book of children's stories my grandmother was German and I wonder if the tales could have been translated from German to English that were cautionary tales.
One story was about a little girl who didn't appreciate anything and so one by one she lost everything that was important to her. They were so friendly to me and others because they had been successfully socialized. Before and after the test, she collected urine, to measure levels of a hormone called cortisol, which rises during times of stress.
If the pup in the video would not approach the jiggly monster and cortisol levels were high, that would indicate that the pup had begun to experience a level of fear of new things that could stop exploration. That would confirm the timing of the critical period. She and Karlsson and others from the lab also collected saliva for DNA testing. They planned to use a new technique called ATAC-seq that uses an enzyme to mark active genes.
Then when the wolf DNA is fed into one of the advanced machines that map genomes, only the active genes would be on the map. She and the other researchers plan to refine their techniques to ask the questions successfully. And what are socialized wolves like when they grow up, once the mysterious genetic machinery of the dog and wolf direct them on their separate ways?
I also visited Wolf Park, in Battle Ground, Indiana, a acre zoo and research facility where Dana Drenzek, the manager, and Pat Goodmann, the senior animal curator, took me around and introduced me not only to puppies they were socializing, but to some adult wolves.
The puppies were extremely friendly with the volunteers they knew, and mildly friendly with me. The adult wolves I met were also courteous, but remote. Two older males, Wotan and Wolfgang, each licked me once and walked away. Timber, the mother of some of the pups, and tiny at 50 pounds, also investigated me and then retired to a platform nearby. Only Renki, an older wolf who had suffered from bone cancer and now got around on three legs, let me scratch his head for a while. None was bothered by my presence.
None was more than mildly interested. None seemed to realize or care about my own intense desire to see the wolves, be near them, learn about them, touch them. I saw how powerfully a visit with wolves could affect how you feel about the animals. I wanted to come back and help raise pups, and keep visiting so that I could say an adult wolf knew me in some way. But I also wondered whether it was right to keep wolves in this setting. In the wild, they travel large distances and kill their food. These wolves were all bred in captivity and that was never a possibility for them.
But was I simply indulging a fantasy of getting close to nature? Was this in the same category as wanting a selfie with a captive tiger? What was best for the wolves themselves? I asked Goodmann about it. And she noted that Wolf Park operates as a combination zoo and research station.
Students and others from around the world compete to work as interns, helping with everything from raising puppies to emptying the fly traps. This is the rationale for all zoos, and it was a strong argument. Then she made it stronger. She pointed out that one of the interns, Doug Smith, worked on the reintroduction of wild wolves to Yellowstone National Park. Smith has had a major role in the Wolf Restoration Project from the very beginning in and has been project leader since I reached him one morning at his office at park headquarters and asked him about his time as an intern at Wolf Park.
It was the first wolf job I ever got in my life. It turned into my career. From there he went on to study wild wolves on Isle Royale in Michigan, and then to work with L. David Mech, a pioneering wolf biologist who is senior scientist with the U. Geological Survey and an adjunct professor at the University of Minnesota. Eventually, he went to Yellowstone to work on restoring wolves to the park. He said ethical questions about keeping wild animals in captivity are difficult, even when every effort is made to enrich their lives.
Then he said what all wolf specialists say: That even though wolf pups look like dogs, they are not, that keeping a wolf or a wolf-dog hybrid as a pet is a terrible idea. Such attachments must form quickly and firmly and they begin to develop when the wolves are just a few weeks old. The pups become distressed when away from familiar individuals and objects and are relieved when they are back near them.
This ability to form emotional attachments to other individuals results in the formation of the pack, or family, as the unit of wolf society. When wolf pups are raised by human beings, this social tendency is especially noticeable.
The animals usually become extremely attached to the humans and any dogs with which they have early or considerable contact. A second characteristic of wolf personality might surprise many people who think of wolves as savage and vicious. The reality is that wolves have a basic aversion to fighting and will do much to avoid any aggressive encounters. It has been observed that a tame wolf had become frantically upset upon witnessing its first dog fight.
As described in the same book noted above, the distressed wolf intervened and eventually broke up the fight by pulling the aggressor off by the tail. The wolf generally possesses a kind personality that in humans would be labeled "agreeable. A pack would function very inefficiently if its members were constantly at each other's throats. Under certain circumstances, however, a wolf can be aggressive, such as when harassing prey, meeting strange wolves, and when protecting the den or pups from other predators.
One would naturally deem these situation-specific aggressive behaviors as advantageous as well. On a side note, it would be wrong to think that aggression is never present in the wolf or any species for that matter including humans.
Wolf puppies are cute, popular. Then comes the call of the wild
It would also be wrong to think that gentleness is not present in the wolf or any other species. Life as we know it cannot exist without some aggression just as it could not without cooperation and gentleness especially among social animals. A balance between aggressive behaviors and cooperation is always being sought with differing degrees of each depending on environmental circumstances which have over time been naturally selected to favor certain behavioral traits.
Most of us have heard by now that the wolf is an extremely intelligent species. It is necessary for their survival. Scientists in the social sciences understand that intelligence is a difficult thing to define and measure. When studying even human intelligence, there are all sorts of biases and difficulties making IQ results not an absolute description of one's intelligence. Nevertheless, we can say that wolves are very intelligent based on the overwhelming evidence that they have a good ability to remember, to associate events, and to learn.
In northern Minnesota, where wolves were persecuted extensively by aerial hunters, they soon learned to avoid open areas whenever they heard an aircraft. Once the planes had disappeared the wolves would proceed to cross the open area.
