I found this delightful book at a book sale- granddaughters love it-
filled with yummy recipes and cute fairies flitting to and fro!

(will take better pics in a few days, granddaughters borrowed the book)
Every little girl who loves fairies and eating yummy things
should adore this imaginative,
illustrated fairy recipe book.
Delicate and delicious sweet and savory projects,
including fairy stars and the ever-popular fairy cakes, can be
made by following the simple step-by-step instructions.
Older fairy lovers should find inspiration in this book for children's parties
while the completed recipes would also make excellent gifts.
I have collected (from eBay) a few of these vintage
readers from the UK- Janet and John.
My grandchildren love, love, love me
to read the stories to them.
They really enjoy Peter and the Donkey-
Peter tries to make friends with his
uncle's donkey- but the donkey has a "bad
look in his eyes."
Keep your eyes open for these treasures!





GREAT new picture book- just got it at the library today.
Looks like a good book to help kids (and adults-
nice gift for a graduate!) face fears and rise to challenges.
By Maria Van Lieshout. You will enjoy this!

LOVELY book by Alvin Tresselt and pictures
by Erik Blegvad (my favorite illustrator, or one of them!) I got this
at a local library- a discard for 10 cents- another treasure!
story of an old weathervane horse on top
of a barn, and what happens
to it over the years- with beautiful
illustrations.




GREAT new book- a twist on Little Red Riding Hood- from the Wild West- a wolf, rattlesnake, a polite red-haired girl make a great story. A charmer for kids to hear!
I adore Lucy Cousins' books. Here is a
new one- YUMMY- 8 favorite fairy tales.
Has become a treasure to one of my
2 year old grandsons- he loves the humor,
loves the big bad wolf, the 3 bears, the ugly
troll in 3 Billy Goats Gruff. Well worth getting from
the library or purchasing. A treasure!


Found these little books
digging in the boxes at the library
book sale. Very sweet and precious
books- will look forward to reading
to a grandchild.
Cheerful by Palmer Brown


and A child's Garden of Verses by R.L. Stevenson- lovely
pictures by Eve Garnett.






Last Saturday, at a library book sale, found this little gem-
Where's My Baby by H.A. Rey (of Curious George fame)-
from 1951. Bookfinder.com says a used one sells
for between 80-280.00. Nice. Great book- My husband totally
remembers this book from his childhood- every animal page has a flap-
and he remembers drawing them and they inspired him
greatly- he is an artist now, too!
Keep your eyes open for a used copy- my grandkids will
love this!

I checked this book out at the library- grandchildren LOVED
it, so I bought a used copy. The Day Adam Got Mad
by Astrid Lindgren (Author), and
Marit Tornqvist (Illustrator)
GREAt illustrations and nice story about a bull that got MAD.
Sam's Ball by Barbro Lindgren in Danish- Jeppes Bold- I thought
someone,somewhere might be interested in this!

Sam's Ball- a favorite of toddlers- by Barbro Lindgren- in Danish.
In great condition, and sure to bring laughs to your baby. My kids
(and now my grandkids) loved Sam books!
It is for sale in my Etsy shop!
