Category: Name That Book Request

I’m looking for a book with ML is a pirate, time travelled to the modern world and met FL who is a single mother with a daughter. The enemy of the pirate somehow time travelled as well. 

grass green hardback, picture of a lamb possibly on the cover but i think probably somewhere on the inside. it was a story of a little girl, and she had a lamb as a friend i think? i remember so vividly, the author used the phrase “by and by” or “by the by” very regularly. this has been haunting me. 

This book I found in my grandmothers house. It was a shortish chapter book about a little girl who was a witch. She lives with her aunts in I think the attic? I can’t remember if the plot is she doesn’t want to be a witch or her just being a witch. She gave off junie b Jones in witch form

I read this book one time that was set during (I think) segregation, and a black girl was new to the town or neighborhood which was predominantly white. There were trains that went through the town or just at the edge and one day a baby or small child was on the tracks and the girl ran and grabbed the baby before the train hit. I think there was also a part in the book about one of the guys in the town jumping off the bridge to kill himself? I also  remember it was a shorter book.

I read this book as a kid, around 2010. The cover ripped off so I don’t remember what it looked like at all, but it was about this stray dog (p sure it was a mutt) who either gets hit by a car or almost does, and gets taken in by this kid who I think has red hair? And this kid is trying to build a rocketship to leave him home. It’s from the POV of the dog and he teaches you Spanish throughout the book. They eventually build the rocketship and landed on an island, where the dog writes “HELP” in the sand and discovers he can write. It’s revealed at the end that he wrote the whole book. A little silly but I loved it as a kid and I miss it.

I’ve been looking for this book i read a couple years ago and i cannot remember the title for the life of me. one of the things i remember about it is that the main character’s mom would make up sayings for i love you. i think the exact quote was “i love you like peanut butter loves jelly” it was always something along those lines. the second thing i remember was that his mom had long hair and it would fly out the car window. unfortunately thats where my memory stops. if you could help me find it it would be greatly appreciated!!

I read these thin, kid encyclopedias in the early 2000s, but I think they were purchased in the 80s or 90s en masse from a catalog. These books were color-coded on the spines by subject (sciences, cultures/history, technology) and had that older picture book low-ink color scheme of pinks, teal, yellow and green. I remember there being a kind of cartoon mascot of sorts of a young boy in a yellow sweater with a bowl cut. These encyclopedias were pretty thorough overviews of anatomy (I remember distinctly reading a page about how the diaphragm fills the lungs that had a guide to an at-home experiment involving balloons and a cut 2-litre plastic bottle), biology/ecology, physics, and earth sciences. The pages were mostly white, kind of resembling a textbook, and they were hardcover. We had like 50 of them in the complete set.

What I remember about this book is that it was a short children’s book and a poor guy from Brazil was talking to Jesus. At one point they were talking about inflation. Also, I think the guy was adopted from someone but not too sure. 

The book was about a fairy who meets two(?) human girls and befriends them and they go on little adventures together. I believe it was a series with every book having a new color based fairy. A red fairy, a green fairy. It also had a Christmas fairy in one.

Japanese classroom, probably kindergarten, one little girl who’s at the center of it all, and other kids. All the chapters revolve around her life at school and the kids around her. I remember crying my eyes out when one of the other kids died? Don’t remember much more sadly. There was an illustration on the cover, and thats how I’d always picture the protagonist. The book was in English, couldve been a translation. Was heartwarming to say the least!
