Hmm. Neat to see. Like the sound of the book. I'll check with the library -- curious if they have it. thecuecardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870323589682197091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-69892869837461368452018-03-16T12:40:47.288-07:002018-03-16T12:40:47.288-07:00Very sad that your libraries don't have these ...Very sad that your libraries don't have these books. Mine have almost all of them in the original hardcover printings. But my sister who lives in Michigan collects the books and has found them in used book stores both real and virtual.

Thanks for letting me know about this series - I will keep my eyes open for it in used book stores.Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-49987411861994586802018-03-15T11:40:18.049-07:002018-03-15T11:40:18.049-07:00Mostly flour and sugar: https://en.wikipedia.org/w...Mostly flour and sugar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoofly_pieJudy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-41506164518180382762018-03-15T11:34:14.376-07:002018-03-15T11:34:14.376-07:00Sounds appropriate fir kids to learn about others&...Sounds appropriate fir kids to learn about others' ways of life.
