| The third book I am looking for was my
absolute
favourite when I was a little girl. I am not sure if it was in an
anthology
or if it was its own story book. The book is about a little squirrel
named
Suzy who llived in an oak tree. Everyday she collected nuts and sang
this
little song "Oh I love to cook, I love to bake, I think I'll make an
acorn
cake." The mean grey(?) squirrels attacked her because they wanted her
acorn cake, but a collection of toy soldiers from a nearby attic saved
her.
A story about a squirrel (possibly named
"Mrs.
Squirrel") who has trouble with a nutcake-stealing bear (possibly named
Bruno).
I have three triplet nieces who are 4
and feed
a family of squirrels everyday. I remember this book as a child and I
am
now looking for it for them!!
children's book about a squirel who
lives in an
attic
in a dollhouse. and a bunch of red squirels
come
and try to take the house away
Please find this book for me. My
heart breaks
that my parents gave it away when I left for college. Now, I'm a
children's book editor and, as such, this most memorable work would
mean
so much to me.
The book is about a squirrel named Miss
Suzy.
The cover is orange, with Miss Suzy sleeping in her bed in a tree.
I think this one was about the size of
the Goldens.
It was about a squirrel (Miss Suzy) who lived in the attic of a
house.
I can't remember the storyline, but it was reassuring to my children
about
the "night noises" they heard or imagined, and I'd love to be able to
read
it to my granddaughter now.
Would like to add this to my collection
and have
had a hard time locating one since it is out of print.
YOU ROCK!!! I could never be a
bookseller (or
sell antiques) because I'd never make any money. Yes,
I absolutely have to buy Miss Suzy...
Hi! I just purchased Miss Suzy
and
two of the Cranberryport stories, and I'm ECSTATIC!!! My mother
flipped.
Thank you so much!
the book I purchased, Miss Suzy,
is a birthday gift for my nineteen year old daughter, Molly. It was her
favorite book when she was a child and now that she is a freshman at
college
I thought she might like to have it as a reminder of home. I look
forward
to receiving Miss Suzy and seeing Molly's face when she
opens
her gift on her birthday.
I read the MISS SUZY book
I bought
from you to my 3 year old niece, and ended up repeating the process two
more times back to back before she'd go to bed! Ha!
My wife and I both remember Suzy
Squirrel from
our
childhood...we just don't know who wrote it
and
what the actual book name was. I would love to find a copy and
surprise
my wife.
It was a picture book about a female
squirrel
who moved into a new place (possible a doll house or a tree) and cleans
it. A spider is in it and the squirrel scares it away.
This was my best freinds favorite book
as a child.
She is turning 30 this year and I thought it would make a great
birthday
gift. I have no idea how much
it would be. Please e-mail me a price - I'd
like
a book in good condition. Thanks -
The main character in the book is a
little boy
named Henry. As one might guess from the title, Five
Pennies
to Spend, he has five pennies to spend. If my memory
serves
correctly, it is a Little Golden Book or a book of similar size from
the
early to mid-1950's.
A friend read 5 Pennies to Spend
to my son's first-grade class and he came home talking about how nice
it
was. My friend says this book is so good that she can't believe
it's
out of print. I think it is an old-timey story about generosity
and
the beauty of sharing.
I think the gray squirrel is the good
one, the
red squirrels are bad...I remember the squirrel hiding in a dollhouse
and
using toy soldiers to help him fight off the bad squirrels ...
My children and I love Miss Suzy.
Miriam Young is awesome, and Arnold Lobel is as well. We would
love
other books by Miriam Young. Is Miss Suzy's
Easter Surprise still in
print?
Jellybeans for Breakfast!
Many of my friends and I fondly remember this book and would love to
share
it with our daughters. Unfortunately it is no longer in print and
poor condition used copies start at $80.
I hope this is one more desperate plea
among many
more to bring Miss Suzy by
Miriam Young back into print.
It
is a delightful book. My 5 year-old daughter enjoys it today as I
did back in the 1960's when I was her age. Almost any book illustrated
by Arnold Lobel is too charming NOT to be available to young readers
today.
Miriam Young, Miss Suzy.
I was given Miss Suzy by my neighbor years ago and I used to read it to
my 3 year old granddaughter. I loved the book and my
granddaughter
would ask me to read it again, and again, and again, and so I would. I
lost the book somewhere along the way and must have it again for myself
(I'm 63) and for my new granddaughter who is 5 months old. The
story
is about Suzy Squirrel who first found her way to an attic and met toy
soldiers and then made a home in a tree where bad squirrels destroyed
her
home.
Miriam Young, Miss Suzy.
My mom used to read this story to me every night before bed, I think I
almost drove her crazy asking over and over "can you read it again!".
She
always read it, even if she was tired. I lost my old copy somewhere
over
the years, my guess is I read it until nothing was left of the book.
The
story is still clear in my mind. When ever I think of "miss Suzy" I
feel
like a little girl again. I remember cuddling up to my mom while she
read
the book over and over without rushing through. I have a little girl of
my own now, I can't wait to buy the book. I'm so excited to read
it to her. She too can experience one of the best childrens novels ever
published just as I did.
Miriam Young, Miss Suzy.
I recently came across this loveable children's book I had forgotten
about.
I purchaed the 40th annivsary book and have read it to my two boys they
just loved it. I found Miss Suzy's Easter Surprise and I am
desperately
trying to find a reasonabley good condition copy of Miss Suzy's
Birthday.
I am so happy I found Miss Suzy again!!!
Five Pennies To Spend.
My
grandma used to read this book to me. I've treasured it as an adult now
that she has passed on. I've recently become a new mother and read the
story to my son. I hope that he someday will treasure it too.
For years now, I've been looking for a
copy of
one of my favorite Miriam Young books, that I read as a child,
for
my granddaughter... Jellybeans for Breakfast. I've seen
for
the past few years how high the sales are going for just the few that
are
still out there, and kept wondering why with the book being so popular
still, that someone didn't have it re-circulated/published again. My
mission
for the day, was to try and track down Ms Young and ask her that
question,
not knowing that she'd passed on. :-/ While searching, I noticed that
one
of the Miss Suzy books has been re-published. I'm not sure if you are
the
person I should ask, but I thought having looked at the loganberry
website,
you'd be the perfect one to ask...Is there anyone out there who plans
to
re-publish Jellybeans for Breakfast??? I have a feeling
that once word got out, that it would be
flying
off the shelves... purchased by new fans and classic fans like me as
well.

Has anyone ever heard of a children's
book from
the early sixties about a lady squirrel who lives in a tree house and
soldiers
come and make her leave. This is about all I remember about this
book and it comes back to haunt me now and again. I'd love to
know
if anyone has ever heard of it and could let me know the title and
maybe
author. I think my mother may have gotten it from one of those
children's
book clubs you could sign up for. Thank you.
This was a one of my most favorite and
cherished
books as a child that I loved listening my mom read to me at bedtime.
Unfortunately,
the book was lost over the past few years, and I would like to get
another
copy of the book, but it is out of print. Please help!
I used to read this book to my children
in late
60's early 70's, and I believe I aquired the book through Parent's
Magazine.
One of their selected readings. Along with "Donkey, Donkey" I cannot
find
these children's stories in any of our bookstores, and I cannot
remember
the authors name. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm looking for two copies of a book
called Miss
Suzy's Treehouse circa 1964. It's about a squirrel and
her
neat treehouse. My brother's children destroyed the book so I
don't
even have a publisher. It's really a great book. It may
have
the same publisher as Old Black Witch. Thanks for your
help!
I'm looking for Miss Susie
Squirrel.
I do not know if that is the correct title. The book is about a
gray
squirrel Suzie that lives in a nice treehouse but some mean red
squirrels
raid her house and she flees to a dollhouse. It was in the early
70's. I would love to have it to give to my twin sister on
our...gulp...30th
b-day in March 2000... thanks for your help...
I'm looking for a book and can't
remember the
author or title. It's about a squirrel who gets into an attic and
discovers a dollhouse which it lives in. It may or may not
leave, I can't recall. Any help would be
appreciated.
I cannot remember the author or exact
title but,
I do know the book is about a squirrel who lives in a tree house. Some
mean squirrels come by and trash her place so she goes into an old
house.
In the attic she finds an old doll house that she makes her home, and
some
toy soldiers who protect her??????? HELP!!!!!!!
Harriett, you have been sent from
Heaven!!!!!!!!
I have searched and searched and searched for this favorite book for
years!!!!!!
I began looking on-line
when I got my puter, about 3 yrs. ago, and
have
had no luck. I was about to give up the other day, after three hours
and
a bazillion web sites when I came to your page and said, "This is the
last
one!" I do not know what happened to my copy, but it was worn out from
reading!! Thank you so much, just looking at the pictures you have of
it
sent chills up my arms!!
Hey, how much for the trio? I never knew
there
was a series. I'd like to enjoy the other two for the first time!!
Again,
thank you so much. P.S.. I will tell everyone about your site, and I've
already put it in my fav's!!
Sold. How should I pay the
balance?
If you come across another copy, I would like to purchase it for my
twin
sister.
Ooh, another good one about a fairly
independent
woman who lives in a tree and finds that entertaining soldiers on leave
pays dividends. (Just kidding.) I'm proud to say I still own my
original
copy of this one
too. I never knew there were sequels!
Thanks to your list I think I found the
other
book my daughter loved Miss Suzie at least I hope
so.....
about a squirrel. Thank you for helping all of us find our
childhoods!
I am absolutely thrilled to have found
this web-site.
I
ordered Miss Suzy by e-bay
the
other day and can not wait until it comes! Having found you, I
have
now put in other requests for books fondly remembered. The
Parents' Press books were our "constants" grwoing up, until of course
our
parents disposed of them! I look forward to reliving these fond
memories
with my students and own children. Thanks!
It's great when you can share a
childhood memory
with your children. My 4 and 6 year old like to hear voices with the
characters
and make up some of their own. They also wish they could live in
a dollhouse.
To the woman who is "haunted" by the
story about
Miss
Suzy's treehouse, who kept her treehouse
neat,
I, too, am looking for the same book. All I can remember is Miss
Suzy sweeping out her treehouse home. Unfortunately, I've been
trying
to find a book called "Mrs. Squirrel's Treehouse" (had totally
forgotten
the "Miss Suzy" part.
mirium young, So What if it's
Raining!
This book was my absolute favorite, and the only one that I kept in my
possession over the years. As a child I remember reading it until I
memorized
it, and it really taught me to expand my imagination. I have kept it in
prominent display, and it never seems to age. A wonderful book filled
with
clever storytelling and creative fun. And now, on those rainy days, I
can
say...So What if it's Raining!
Miriam Young, 5 pennies to spend.
This is the year 2003 and this story is timeless! I bought this simple
golden classic at a garage sale and it's priceless to me! My son loves
it and has me read it to him all the time. it teaches good values,to
share,get
for your friends who may be less forunate and just a good book to share
with your child. I wish everybody could read it.
Miriam Young, Miss Suzy.
Last night I was just reading Miss Suzy to my 6 and 2 year old and it
still
captivates the imagination. I used to play Miss Suzy in the tree in my
front yard as a child. In re-reading this special book I realized
how much Miss Suzy formed my life--I too love being a homemaker and
getting
my house in order! On a whim I searched the web this morning to see
what
info might be available on the author and here was your website. It's
been
fun reading these comments. I too received many books from the
parents
press book club as a child. My Mom never throws out books so I
still
have all our original copies of Miss Suzy, Miss Twiggley's Tree,
Donkey-Donkey,
Henrietta's Hat and many more. Thanks for sharing these books with
others.
Miriam Young, Miss Suzy.
Thank you for this page. I am a 40 year old man who has (for
whatever
reason) been stumped for years on the Mrs. Squirrel book I remember my
grandmother reading to me as a small child. Why do so many think
it's Mrs. Squirrel instead of Mrs. Suzy is puzzling to me. I
could
have Googled "Mrs. Suzy" years ago and found the book I was searching
for
but I kept searching for "Mrs. Squirrel". Now I'll find it and be
able to buy it for my new grandchild. :)
Miriam Young, Jellybeans for
Breakfast.
In my whole life I have never met anyone who knew of the book
"Jellybeans
for Breakfast." This was my favorite book as a child and I can't
believe I've actually found this title, even if it's just an honorable
mention. I would be very interested if anyone has a copy to sell.
