Ah, I forgot about Benny Bakes a Cake...I loved that book! Also by Eve Rice is the wonderful Sam Who Never Forgets, another out of print title. I made flannel board sets for both of these and used them often when I worked as a children's librarian.

I can't resist this thread. BENNY BAKES A CAKE is a great call. Hard to i magine how it could be a better book -- great for reading aloud. I'm glad it was mentioned.
I miss being able to give these quirky favorites as presents:
TOOTHGNASHER SUPERFLASH, a Pinkwater classic. I never met a kid who didn't like that book.
ORDINARY JACK and ABSOLUTE ZERO, the first two of the Bagthorpe series by H elen Cresswell and possibly the funniest children's novels ever
Penelope Lively's THE GHOST OF THOMAS KEMPE
I'm happy to report that Gone Away Lake and The Saturdays are still in prin t.
A nonfiction book I love that's out of print is Lasky's SURTSEY, about the creation of an island off the coast of Iceland. Also Donna Jackson's THE B ONE DETECTIVES.
