Does anyone remember Puppet Storybooks? I had some called My Tiny 3-D Storybooks from Playmore Publishers. I have located a few on Ebay ..does anyone else recall these? I adored them as a little kid, especially the "3D" picture on the cover (which many seem to be missing).
Also, I am looking for (and this is a long shot) a book about a doll that got abandoned in the snow? I can't remember the name of it for the life of me, but that's the basic plot- doll gets abandoned out in the elements. This would have probably pre-dated me by a few years as I think I inherited this from one of my aunts, so early 70s? Late 60s?
I kind of remember the 3-D pictures on the covers. Didn't the pictures have small ridges, and you could scratch the picture and make noises? The noise was like a vooop voop vooop like when a person wearing corduroys walks.
I've also been trying to locate books I remember from childhood (I've found a lot!), and I also remember a story about a little doll that got lost, and went through all this stuff, and eventually got found at the end. I think in one scene, the doll fell into the mother's pot of homemade jelly or jam, and the little doll was actually canned, in the glass jam jar. Does that sound familiar?

It was from 1955, WAY before our time, but I'm pretty sure it was an older book back when I read it. It may have beena library book that I didn't own, but maybe checked out a lot. The little doll was always getting lost, outdoors and indoors, and even got sucked up in the vacuum cleaner. The jelly jar thing seems to be from this book.
One of my earliest memories is that of my parents reading to me. Someone gave me The Golden Book of Bible Stories. It was the size of a coffee table book and had wonderful pictures in it. I loved that book.
I credit the Nancy Drew books with my love of good mysteries. I could not get enough of them. Also, a series about Cherry Ames who was a nurse.
I still remember the cover of Little Black Sambo. I liked the book but the cover made it look like he had been eaten by an elephant.
Then there was the Golden Book of Tootle: The Little Train That Could. I may have the title wrong but I remember the train saying "I think I can. I think I can" when he was trying to get up a hill. I read that one over and over or maybe my folks read it to me.

We have that book! I remember having it as a kid and getting it for my own. I still love it!
