I can't remember the title of one of my favorite books from childhood?

I can't remember the title of one of my favorite books from childhood! I remember reading a book as a child (I'm 22 now) that was about some children who (I think) discovered a box containing some furry little gremlins or animals of some sort. Maybe the box was delivered to them at a hotel.

And I think maybe more boxes kept being delivered to wherever they lived, and eventually there were a lot of these little creatures running around. I don't remember the specifics, just that I really liked the book. Could anyone help me figure out the title so I can re-read the book as an adult?

The title of one of my favorite books from childhood It is such a wonderful feeling to find childhood favorites, books that you thought you’d lost forever. They’re such treasure, like gold; they bring back a wash of good feeling. That just happened to me.

There was a book that I loved as a child (which my mother threw out) that I hadn’t been able to find. I couldn’t remember much about it, except that I loved the illustrations, they were hazy watercolors, and that there was a marble I used to gaze at from a boy’s pocket or a box or someplace, along with some other of his treasures. I found another picture book from the same time period where the illustrations looked like what I remembered, and then I looked inside for the illustrator’s name.

Then I started searching other titles by that author on Amazon. Com, but most of the titles, because they were so old, didn’t have covers scanned in. Next I searched on ebay in the children’s book section for that particular illustrator–and I found a cover that looked very familiar to me, and gave me a good feeling; I was pretty sure it was the right one.(The ding Place by Pauline Palmer Meek, illustrated by Tom O’Sullivan.) But I wanted to be sure before I purchased it.

So I wrote to the seller, asking what the book was about, and she wrote back the opening of the book: “Henry had a secret hiding place. In it he kept two marbles, a shiny rock, an old ball-point pen, and a stick of gum.”I felt such a happy rush reading those lines, those words. Not only because it’s the right book, not only because those words bring back the happy, good feelings I had reading that book, but also because the words again touch me in just the right way.

I’ve always loved the idea of having secret hiding places, and of having special little treasures, and I can see those things as treasures. Sources: cherylrainfield.com/blog/index.php/2008/... .

" -- James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man« Nazis and UFOs and X-files kind of stuff | Main | I must pass this on »January 25, 2005After many many many years ...... my search is finally over.

I have waited, I have been creative in my search, and patient ... I have kept my eye on the ball ... I have left no stone unturned ...I have waited a long long time. I have dreamt of this moment. And I cannot believe my own triumph.

Here's what happened. I have a VIVID memory of being about 4 or 5 years old, and of LOVING (yes - LOVING - more like OBSESSING OVER) a picture-book that had to do with something called a "bimulous night". Correction: My father told me I was in the 7 or 8 year-old realm ... due to the publication date.

There are many many benefits to having a librarian for a father. What "bimulous" meant, in the book, was one of those magical summer nights, when you're a kid, when ANYthing can happen. When it feels like animals can talk to you.

When it seems like grown-ups don't exist. Like a midsummer bimulous night's dream. The pictures, as I remember them, were amazing watercolors: purple raggedy clouds in the sky, with a full moon beaming through, trees tossing by the lake - I can see those watercolors in front of me right now.

They made a huge impression on me. What happens on a "bimulous night" is quite extraordinary. First of all: there must be a raggedy purple sky.

Second of all: the otters start to sing. Third of all: you MUST eat spaghetti. That's all I remember.In the book, we follow three little girls, who all are in white nightdresses, and all have long blonde hair ... they lie in their beds, in the middle of the night, fast asleep.

It is dark. A purply dark. And then, the "bimulous"-ness of the night wakes them up.

The otters are singing by the lake. The sky is ragged and purple. The moon is full.

They sneak downstairs and cook a vat of spaghetti. Because, of course, that's what you must do. And then they race outside to cavort through the woods and by the lake, reveling in bimulous-ness.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
