I'd love to see several back in print (Requiem for a Princess was another f avorite of mine) but I am guessing that some, like Portrait of Margarita, a re a bit too dated in terms of both mixed race children and children with s pecial needs.

Books we'd love to see back in print I would love to see all of Ruth M Arthur's books back in prin t. I still remember them from childhood. I remember clearly the day I read the last of her titles that was available to me at the library. It seems th eir strong female characters and touch of the paranormal would be very popu lar with kids today. NC

Books we'd love to see back in print
=0 AI won't start listing the novels I'd love to see back in print but I agree wholehe artedly with The Changeover. I also love Hilda Van Stockum's The Winge d Watchman, and Ruth M. Arthur's A Candle in Her Room.
Enright's Mel endy family and Gone Away Lake books are also superior to Thimble Summer, IMO ( although I love the Wisconsin rural summer setting.) The Melendy and G on e-Away books are usually in print but not always.
All of Maud Hart Lov elace's Betsy-Tacy series and the 3 related to the series are in print now, and it should be ever thus.
Favorite picture stories, on my list of " never fail crowd pleasers": Virginia Walter's Hi, Pizza Man! of course. A0 And One Lonely Seahorse by the pair who turn fruits and vegetables into ani mals (I'm at home and in a rush so don't have the time to check this). =A 0T his book worked on so many levels--ocean animals, friendship, counting, fru its and veggies, and discussion of the phrase "feeling blue" meaning to fee l sad.
Jack Kent's The Fat Cat.
The two larger size board books, Ten In the Bed, and Clap Your Hands, by David Ellwand, go in and out of pri nt. There should never be an out of print with these two.
