Does anybody like these old books?

Just wondering if anybody likes these old children's book series:

Mr Men and Little Miss by Roger Hargreaves

Sweet Pickles by Jacquelyn Reinach, Ruth Lerner Perle, and Richard Hefter

How Spider Saved by Robert Kraus

I found the Sweet Pickles to have some similarities with the Mr. Men and Little Misses.

Unfortunately, I have never heard of any of these books, nor have I heard of the authors. Could you tell me what they are about?

Sweet Pickles ruled. When I was five (1979), Captain Kangaroo used to read the Sweet Pickles books on his show. They were really great for kids.

I enjoyed reading...

I enjoyed reading mr men and all the other books that they wrote

Sweet Pickles? (Song) Good Moms know that kids may grow with Green Pickles (song) LOL


Mr Men and Little Miss by Roger Hargreaves

Mr Men is quality but I never liked Little Miss as much. In fact, I remember them being shown as a TV series after Sesame street when I was little!

 

[That Announcer]

Ah, Mr. Men. The quality entertainment that I was given when I was younger. I yearn for those days... kinda.

On second thought, I'll stick with Sam the Eagle.

I do love the Hargreaves series though. I always thought that they were rather funny books.

Does anybody know AlphaTales, a similar series to the Sweet Pickles books? They are published by Scholastic.

Oh yeah. I loved Sweet Pickles as a kid. I would look forward to getting two new SP books in the mail every few weeks. It also featured the rare squirrel known as a Xerus. Which is what I go by on here.

I want to look into "How Spider Saved" now, since that's the only series I don't remember - but I know I loved the others, so I'm sure I would have loved that, too! Also, Richard Scarry books, Little Critter books by Mercer Mayer, etc!
