i am so excited to get this book in the mail for ellie & leo! i spent 3-4 hours looking for this book online. i didn’t know the title or author…only memories of the illustrations. finally, i stumbled across http://loganberrybooks.com/ which found the book previously for someone else. the illustrations are ingrained in my memory.

i know! i used to study this book for HOURS. i posted details hoping it would help other web seekers find it.
Thank you thank you!!!
I used to have this book too…. I loaned it to my parents for my little stepbrother and it has been lost… I have been searching for it for years now, I too did not remember the name or author just all the illustrations and how much I used to study the book…. So happy to have the name! I want it for my little girl. Best children's book ever, cannot believe it is out of print.
Thanks!
