When Michelle was little, little, little she fell in love with a book at the school library. The book was called A Pony For Linda and it looked just like this.
She would check it out from the library and pretend to “lose it” so she wouldn’t have to take it back to the library. When that didn’t work because I would always “find it”, she started just renewing it every week.
At the end of the school year, the librarian called me upstairs and asked me if Michelle would like to keep A Pony For Linda and just bring us a brand new book to take its place on the shelf. Michelle was thrilled. The librarian was also thrilled since she was getting a brand new book and Michelle always had that old book checked out so nobody could read it if they wanted to. I can’t remember which book Michelle picked out to exchange for her much loved green covered pony book.
We still have A Pony for Linda. And it still makes Michelle smile.
I LOVE those old books. I recognized several on the site you linked. They were on the shelves of the local library & at school when I was was a wee one. :0)
