staceyobu Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 When I was in the first grade, I read a book over and over again. It was about a girl who organized some sort of play school for younger kids. Maybe over a summer? I think it was a fairly easy chapter book. Maybe on a second to third grade reading level? I thought it had a "B" name in the title. Beverly, Betsy? I've been trying to come up with the title of this book for weeks now. It was so long ago when I read it, I can't really remember much about it!

MariannNOVA Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Was it Betsy-Tacy? I vaguely remember the story too - the title, though, escapes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Maybe the Betsy series of books by Carolyn Haywood. I'm almost certain it's Betsy's Play School. I loved all these books as a girl. I think in this one she has a little pre-school in her basement. They raise a pet mouse who has babies, if I recall correctly.

staceyobu Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow. An amazingly quick response. This furthers my idea that between us all... we know everything! And, yes, I believe that is the book! Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liza Q Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Oh how I loved these books! I was sort of in love with Billy - who wouldn't be? And I envied Betsy her plaid dresses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emubird Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Here's another one: I read a book about the dikes breaking in Holland. Maybe it was set in the 1953 flood? The main character was a girl who slept in what seemed to be a closet. After the flood, her family decided she was all grown up and deserved her own room. Anyone know what this book is?

ereks mom Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 http://www.loganberrybooks.com Click on the link above, then scroll down to "Solved Mysteries Catalog". There you can browse titles--books are arranged in alphabetical order by title. If you can't find your book there, enter some keywords into the search box and click "Go". Or if you prefer, you can browse the "Stump the Bookseller Queries". You can even help other bibliophile find the books they are looking for by going to the site's "Stumper Solution" page. I love this site! The very first time I visited, I found a book I had been searching for since I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emubird Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've tried the Loganberry site before. The only thing they list that looks remotely like this book I'm thinking of is Tide in the Attic -- which isn't the right book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
