Welcome to
Aunt Book's
Children's Book Identification Site
Ask Aunt Book
Are you unable to remember the
name or the author of a book that lingers in your memory from your
childhood?
Let Aunt Book help! Tell her what you remember about the book,
and perhaps she can identify it.
If she can't, perhaps one of her Dear Nieces or Dear Nephews (as she
likes to think of the visitors to this site) can.
Please note that Aunt Book identifies children's
books.
Aunt
Book
requests that those who submit queries please reply when she sends
suggestions of possible titles. It is very frustrating for
her when she cannot place queries on the correct page of her website.
As Aunt Book seems perpetually behind in her posting, allow her to
explain that, generally, if she is able to identify a book or at least
has a suggestion of what it might be, she will reply to your e-mail
fairly quickly. If, however, she has no idea at all, she
generally spends some time searching and then adds the query to the
file of those that need to be posted. Aye, there's the rub,
because of the aforementioned perpetually behindness. She does
apologize.

Aunt Book has contacted a number of Dear Nieces
and Dear Nephews with possible solutions to their
queries. Anticipating their responses she has updated
her website, but will change them back if necessary.
The solutions are located largely on page 1 of the
"identified" section. Aunt Book also checked the
spelling on the various pages and fixed a number
of errors.
Aunt Book has not quite caught up, but she is
closer to being caught up than she has been in
years.

Aunt Book expresses outrage
While this has nothing to do with books,
Aunt Book is quite fond of Marshmallow Fluff
(the real
Marshmallow Fluff) and uses it to
make fudge. She cannot always find it in
nearby grocery stores and so orders it from
the company's website, which also has
interesting information about the
company:
Marshmallow
Fluff
(Aunt Book is not associated in any way
with the Fluff people, except for being, as
mentioned above, quite fond of their product).

Aunt Book scorns to use huge, unnecessary files, and therefore this
site will be almost entirely text, with the occasional option to
display a picture of a book. She hopes that you will appreciate
the swiftness with which it loads, and urges others to follow her
example. Those who have slow Internet connections are people,
too.
