| I have searched and searched for Pickle-Chiffon
Pie. If you cannot find it, please send me other searching suggestions
you might have.
This is absolutely my most favorite book. I don't
know what happened to my copy when my parents moved out of my childhood
home and I miss it! I would be eternally grateful if you could find a copy
of this book for me and any children I may have someday!
When I was young my brothers and sisters and I
LOVED Pickle-Chiffon Pie. Recently my sister just had a daughter,
the first of the next generation :), and it would be great if I could get
a copy of that book!!
Glad I found your site. Have been looking
for this series for a short time - most interested in Pickle-Chiffon
Pie. My own copies were lost many years ago. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I still have my copy of There's an Elephant
in the Bathtub, but looking for more for nieces/nephews.
Also, any other books by Bradfield.
I cannot pay a huge amount for this book.
I loved it as a child and we have two of Joly Roger's books that my children
absolutely adore. This one was my favorite when I was young and I
would be so thrilled to find one. Thank you for your help.
Hello, Rock. yep, its the
book I learned to read from. I so would love a copy to teach my kids from.
Thanks!
Great Web Page!!!!... I too was looking for any
info on my favorite childhood book The Flying Hockey Stick
it was an escape for me in a sometimes frightening family life... I would
read and re-read it as a kid pretending that I could build some contraption
and fly away... I would like to share his work with my children...I would
also be interested in any current info you might have about the author.
Thanks!!!
I realize these might be hard to find. I've just
now found who the author is. I loved these books as a child and want desperately
for my child to know the colorfull illustrations and goofy stories. If
you have any information that will help me track down the author and publisher,
or anyone involved with the production of these wonderful books, please
let me know.
Been looking for Hello Rock for
a few years now. I had won one on e-bay in January and it never arrived.
First e-bay auction that went bad for me, and it was to be a present for
my 70 year old mom. If you could help me find this book I would appreciate
it.
Pickle Chiffon Pie was my very favorite
Children's book growing up. I have been looking for it for years.
I am also trying to remember the title on another of Bradfield's books.
The only thing I remember is something about hamburger trees. Any
information about the title of this book would be greatly appreciated.
To the person who wanted to know about the "hamburger
trees", the name of this great book is Giants Who Come in Different
Sizes. It was a childhood favorite and I just purchased this
collectible to be given to my niece, so that the tradtion of reading and
enjoying this book can be past on to future generations. This book
is listed by many educators as being a "fairy tale favorite" among children
and a classic.
Why are these wonderful books out of print? Why
haven't they been reissued?
Pickle Chiffon Pie has to be still
my all-time favorite kid's book. I rediscovered it while I was unpacking
all the stuff I put in storage during college. I decided to go look
for more, and much to my dismay I see that they are all out of print. :(
My little brother had Roger Bradfield's Hello
Rock memorized at the age of three. When we would have people over
my sister and I would love to tell them that he could read. He would open
the book and run his finger along as he "read" page after page. We really
had people fooled! Out of the blue, I find myself reciting what I can remember
of it to my children! They look at me like I'm crazy! I would love to have
a collection of Roger Bradfield Books to share with them.
I have a copy that my daughter would not sell
for any price, as far as I know!
I know this won't work for very many people, but
I was fortunate enough to pick up a copy of this book at a Friends of the
Library used book sale last summer. Granted, it was worn from a lot
of use, but was still in fair condition (good binding still). For
folks not interested in a 'collectible' copy, it might be an option.
And it was a steal
My daughters would both be thrilled if I could
find them each a copy of Pickle Chiffon Pie, their favorite
book as children (now they have children), but they are so expensive. Why
can't someone convince Bradfield to print it again?
My husband loves to tell the story of how, as
a young boy, he read Pickle Chiffon Pie every day for months
to a neighbor who patiently endured each recitation while she recuperated
from a broken leg (her husband accidentally ran over her with the riding
lawn mower!) He also has a copy of The Flying Hockey Stick.
I have been collecting as many of Mr. Bradfield's books as possible for
a Christmas gift... would especially like to obtain a reasonable priced
copy of The Lavender Lion, if anyone has any leads.

I would like to know if you have ever seen a
picture book published in the mid-60s called Who Are You? I think
it had a blue cover, and it was the size of most picture books. It
was written in verse, and I still remember how the first page went:
"Who
are you? What's your name? Would you like to play a game? Let's pretend
we haven't met. I'll ask the questions, Now...get...SET!"
I don't remember the author or illustrator, so I hope the excerpt above
is enough to go on.
Could this be Who are You by Joan
and Roger Bradfield published by Whitman in 1966. Illustrations
by Winnie Fitch. There were questions in verse to make us think about
the things that make us distinctly and uniquely individuals.
I think this could well be the book! Could
you keep your eyes open and/or do a search using the info from the cyber-response
and check to see if the first page contains the verse that I remember (or
something close to it)? I would definitely be interested in buying
a reasonably priced copy if this is the book I had as a child. I
haven't been back to your website for awhile; I'll have to see what other
stumpers have been posed and solved. Thanks for getting back to me
with the information.

I'm looking for the book Who are You.
I lost the copy that I had when I was a child. The beginning of the
book went.. Who are you? What's your name? Would you
like to play a game? I would love to get another copy.
Why did they stop printing these wonderful books if people are still enjoying
them?
I have just stumbled onto your site and the
page devoted to my books... the JOLLY ROGER books. It is gratifying
to know so many folks enjoyed my books and still remember them after all
these years. If anyone is interested, a friend down in South America (Uruguay)
has made a website showing many of the books and telling a bit about me.
--Roger Bradfield
Some time ago I noticed that you were kind
enough to run my website address on the page devoted to my books. It's
been changed! It is now: www.Rogerbradfield.com.
Now I know why my mail has fallen off! I have hopes of getting "Pickle
Chiffon Pie" republished, but getting the needed copyright information
from the Library of Congress has been very frustrating. Have been
trying since July 7th! Any ideas? Thanks so much! --Roger
Pickle Chiffon Pie: I just
stumbled upon this great book in an Antique Mall in Dallas. I loved
it immediately and bought it for my 2 month old daughter. She's not
reading yet, you understand, but we'll have loads of fun reading it together.
The illustrations and story are wonderful and I sincerely hope Jolly Roger
has good luck getting his books republished. Amazon.com has copies
for $145 - they really are in demand. Best of luck to all searching
for his books. I'll be looking for the Flying Hockey Stick
next.
PASTEL DE CREMA DE PEPINILLOS.¡Estoy
desesperado! He buscado en portales especializados, en páginas
de todos los paises e idiomas, en librerias de descatalogados y se
me estan acabando los recursos. Si alguien me pudiera facilitar un nuevo
camino para seguir buscando, les estaría eternamente agradecido.
Pagaría cualquier precio por un ejemplar de: "PASTEL DE CREMA
DE PEPINILLOS"
I feel so deprived not having been aware of ALL
of Jolly Roger Bradfields books. My children coveted these
books. Unfortunately I only had one incomplete set of these four
and was so BLESSED to find the 'hockey stick' at a garage sale! I
have looked everywhere imaginable and available to me to find more of his
books. My grandson, an early excelled reader has the 'hockey stick'
and he too, has claimed it as his favorite. WE (I need to see the
others) NEED MORE!
Roger Bradfield's Who are you?
My oldest sister was given this book in 1967 by her first grade teacher
as a class prize for reading the most books. It was a family favourite
growing up and she still has her copy today. I would love to find a copy
to share with my own sons. We have been searching everywhere and
were happy to find this site where others also remember those wonderful
opening lines of "Who are you? What's your name? Would you like to play
a game?", but sad to learn that it is out-of-print.
