I won't start listing the novels I'd love to see back in print but I agree wholeheartedly with The Changeover. I also love Hilda Van Stockum's Th e Winged Watchman, and Ruth M. Arthur's A Candle in Her Room.
Enrigh t's Melendy family and Gone Away Lake books are also superior to Thimble Summer , IMO (although I love the Wisconsin rural summer setting.) The Melend y and Gone-Away books are usually in print but not always.
All of Ma ud H art Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy series and the 3 related to the series are in pri nt now, and it should be ever thus.
Favorite picture stories, on m y li st of "never fail crowd pleasers": Virginia Walter's Hi, Pizza Man! of cour se. And One Lonely Seahorse by the pair who turn fruits and vegetables i nto animals (I'm at home and in a rush so don't have the time to check this ). This book worked on so many levels--ocean animals, friendship, coun ti ng, fruits and veggies, and discussion of the phrase "feeling blue" meaning to feel sad.
Jack Kent's The Fat Cat.
The two larger siz e board books, Ten In the Bed, and Clap Your Hands, by David Ellwand, go in and out of print. There should never be an out of print with these two. Ca rla from San Francisco Public Library Carla Kozak "Librarian by Day , Catwoman by Night (Gone to the Dogs)"
