I'll try again - TIA! Hello and Help! Maybe I should know this - is sounds like one that would be easily recognizable - but alas, it doesn't bring a title to my mind! Patron describes a book he has not read, but has heard read - doesn't know title or author but is confident the main character is a rabbit named Bearington (sp?). This rabbit is helpful to all other animals in the story -helps squirrels gather nuts, etc. It even provides warm shelter for animals needing a place to sleep. However, when rabbit needs help, none of the other animals will help him and he dies in the cold (yikes!)! The patron believes it's classified as a children's book but is unsure - I looked in A-Z and did a keyword on our system and found nothing - hope someone out there can identify this unusual sounding book! Thanks! ------------------------------ From: "Bill or Mary Schrader" <bills@sirius.com> To: <PUBYAC@prairienet.org> Subject: Stumper: Mr. Pudgins Date: Wed, 24 May 2000 17:39:54 CDT I have a patron who remembers a book from her childhood (she is in her = 40's) about Mr. Pudgins, a babysitter who blows bubbles and magical = things happen. Ring any bells? Reply directly to me.

He decides to take over a "cubby hole" in the room as his own. There is a toy pictured that he plays with that is something like a train that rides on a string. I have tried A to Zoo and our professional staff's brains to no avail. I would appreciate it if you know the book to send me the title and author. Thanks.

She was looking for books to read to her own little girl (about 3 years old). This patron is looking picture books that will help her daughter understand what it will be like having an adopted brother or sister. We have found many books explaining adoption to the child, but nothing for the siblings involved. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. We have another patron looking for a picture book about a little witch. She remembers reading the book in the late 1960's. In this book there is a recipe for "Magic Cake" -- which is a type of Pumpkin Dessert with cream cheese frosting. We have checked the "Little Witch" series by Glovach and the "Old Witch" series by Devlin. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time! ------------------------------ End of PUBYAC Digest 147 ************************ |
