The Wheel on the School
Publisher: New York 1972.
New Harpercollins Later Printing; Second Printing Paperback 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 298 pages; Lina is the only girl in a small school of six in the little Dutch fishing village of Shora. She has written a story about storks of her own volition, and the teacher allows her to read it to the class. It made children and teacher alike wonder why there are no storks in their village, while the storks do visit surrounding villages to build their nests. They finally determine that there are no high places like trees for the storks, and Lina remembers her aunt says the roofs in Shora are too steep for nesting, and in the other villages the people put a wheel on the roofs so the storks can nest. So the solution seemed easy -- put a wheel on the roof of the schoolhouse. The problem is to locate a wheel. It became a school project. There were lots of obstacles, but the children and the people of the village wanted the storks to come back, and they were determined to make it happen.; ISBN: 0064400212

Hurry Home, Candy
Publisher: New York 1981.
New Harpercollins Later Printing Paperback 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 244 pages; We all know how it feels to lose a pet, but we don't often get the story about the lost pet's feelings. This is the story of Candy from his puppyhood. We see him taken from his warm mother to a strange house where the children love him and he loves them, but the woman punishes him with a broom and the man orders him around with a booming, commanding voice. Candy learns to adjust in his puppy way, but never recovers from his fear of the broom. On the way back from a trip to the country to see Grandma and Grandpa, Dad has a flat tire by a bridge on a deserted country road. Catherine, the girl, takes Candy with her down to the creek. After the two have played there and had a wonderful time, Catherine hears Dad putting the tools back in the car and starts back. Suddenly a thunderstorm with hail is upon them. Catherine calls Candy, assuming the dog will follow her. Indeed he starts to, but there, in a pile of mud in his path, is a broom. To make a long story short, in spite of the wails of the children, the family goes on home, with Dad promising to bring the children back to search after the storm. But the terrified Candy runs far from the bridge and is not found. He learns to live as a stray, dodging other dogs, until the day a pack of dogs almost kills him. He is rescued by a woman in a wagon, but she has an accident and Candy is taken to the pound. Will he ever find a real home?; ISBN: 0064400255

Lenski, Lois.
Strawberry Girl.
Publisher: Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1945..
First Edition Octavo in green cloth stamped in yellow. [192] pages illustrated in black and white. Winner of the 1946 Newbery Award. The best of the books in a series of books telling a regional story of growing up with hardships. This one tells the story of a girl in the turn of the century frontier of Florida populated by Crackers (apparently before the term became derisive). Light glue toning to the endpapers, very light extremity wear. The jacket is price clipped (a bit rough on the edges of the removal), light soiling and toning, about a square inch missing at top right front panel, some minor loss of material at lower tips and foot of spine, a one inch tear at front top spine fold. Still, the flaws are all relatively inconsequential. Hardcover Hardcover Very Good+ in Good + Dustjacket
