Dorothy Kunhardt
|
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dorothy Kunhardt is a very influential American author of children's books designed to be read to small children. When most children's books were moralistic young adult novels, Kunhardt was writing books like Junket is Nice and Pat the Bunny with handwritten text, funny repetitious words, and things to touch and feel inside the books. She used "noble nonsense that, like Lear's, could be at once ridiculous and poignant" (Bader, 71). SOURCES LOGANBERRY LEGACY Partial BIBLIOGRAPHY |

Out-of-print books are harder to stock than new books, and some are hard to find, period. If the title you are seeking is not listed for sale above, that probably means that I am currently out of stock. However, I am always on the lookout for books, and will gladly quote you when I do find your coveted book. To add your name to my Wants Files, simply fill out a Book Request Form and I will e-mail you when I have a copy in stock. Thanks. |
| I am looking for a book that I enjoyed
as a child
but only know the title, it is Miss Ticklefeather. I think it
may
have been a Little Golden Book but not sure. I probably had the book in
the early 1950's. I hope you may be able to help me find this book. I
would
like for my children and grandchildren to read it.
I recently found refernce to this book on teh web for $325. This price I found is pretty much out of my league right now, but I would love to find a less than perfect edition of the book at a lower range. Thank you for any help. I'd like to find this book for my mother for Christmas, it is one of her favorites. i would to have this book - i read on your web site someone bought it or saw it for sale at $325.00 - is it possible you could find it for less? thanks you My sister and I spent many pleasurable hours and years reading this book. In fact we remember it being the only book we had as children - so it means a lot to us to try to get a copy. Thanks for your help I can't believe I saw this book available on two different sites within this month. I have been looking for it forever. I remember a Little Golden Book about a Victorian lady with high button shoes who lived in a Victorian home with gingerbread trim. It had a black wrought iron fence around the yard and the trim on the house was a bright pink and white. I wish I could find that book again. It was full of wonderful color and design. Dorothy Kunhardt, Lucky Mrs.
Ticklefeather.
I thought the memory of this book only resided in my mind. How
amazing
to find a handful of others who also have searched for this book!
A special club we are indeed! Would love to own a copy of it,
old,
new, reprinted, whatever. PLEASE let me know when one becomes
available!
Thanks for keeping the flame lit on our childhood memories! Child's book, late fifties/early sixties, middle aged woman
who
lives alone in a high rise apartment with pet bird who flies away and
then
returns or is returned to her at the end...with lovely colorful
illustrations...
The book is NOT Petey's Parrot or Mrs. Tortino's return to
the
sun. |
As a child, I simply remember this was
my favorite
book. Think it was a Golden Book about little old woman, big bird, and
sunflowers. The bird disappears, but has gone to get sunflower for old
woman (or something to that effect was the storyline as I can best
recall).
I remember a Little Golden Book about a victorian lady with high button shoes, who lived in a victorian home with gingerbread trim. It had a black wrough iron fence around the yard and the trim on the house was a bright pink, and white. I wish I could find that book again. It was full of wonderful color and design. Hi- I just discovered your web site in searching for Lucky Mrs. Ticklefeather. I own LMT - but am putting on a play of the story with my kindergarten class. I wanted to see what was "out there" about that lovely book. Anyway, I love your site! Since I enjoyed Junket is Nice I would look forward to reading Lucky Mrs. Tickelfeather. I am interested in obtaining a copy of
this book.
There is no price listed. Please inform me of the price-new/ and
or old so that I can make a decision. Thanks in advance! I
am delighted to have finally found that such a book exists rather then
just a figment of past memories. When I discussed this book none
of my peers had any recall. Did coming from the east coast influnce the
sale of this particular Maybe somebody would reprint Junket is Nice. Wonder how one goes about seeing about that. I was so excited to see that there was really a book called Lucky Mrs. Ticklefeather. I tried to find it before on the web but nothing came up. It is one of the only books that I can remember from my early childhood. Before first grade. If there are any newer copies out there I would be interested in buying one. Dorothy Kunhardt, Mrs. Ticklefeather. I am astounded at all of us who remember her so well,and yes I too have been looking fo the book . She has had a profond effect on me as a child I remember her as a mother figure to me.She was perfect! i want to share her with my grandson. |
