I would love to see all of Ruth M Arthur's books back in print. I still rem ember them from childhood. I remember clearly the day I read the last of he r titles that was available to me at the library. It seems their strong fem ale characters and touch of the paranormal would be very popular with kids today. NC

Books we'd love to see back in print
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 The Wi nged Watchman, and Ruth M. Arthur's A Candle in Her Room.
Enright's Melendy family and Gone Away Lake books are also superior to Thim ble Summer, IMO (although I love the Wisconsin rural summer setting.) The Melendy and Gone-Away books are usually in print but not always.
All of Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy series and the 3 related to the seri es are in print now, and it should be ever thus.
Favorite picture stories, on my list of "never fail crowd pleasers": Virgin ia Walter's Hi, Pizza Man! of course. And One Lonely Seahorse by the pair who turn fruits and vegetables into animals (I'm at home and in a rush so d on't have the time to check this). This book worked on so many levels--oce an animals, friendship, counting, fruits and veggies, and discussion of the phrase "feeling blue" meaning to feel sad.
Jack Kent's The Fat Cat.
The two larger size board books, Ten In the Bed, and Clap Your Hands, by Da vid Ellwand, go in and out of print. There should never be an out of print with these two.
