A few years ago – after much searching – I found the book on the Internet and bought it. It turned out the story of Trotty was in a book called Farm Babies and was not an isolated story. That had made my search that much harder but persistence paid off. Once I saw the other stories I recalled most of them as well: stories like Woolly Lamb’s white wool, Dan Duck learns to swim; and Pooky gets a curly tail.
I tried to get hold of a copy of Farm Babies and eventually I did it. “I did it, I jumped the fence,” cried Trotty.
This looks so cute. When I was little, mine was The Pokey Little Puppy. I searched for the most familiar book that I could recall my mother reading to me.
ReplyDeleteOne day, at a yard sale, I found a "three in one" book. It was then that I realized the other stories were familiar to me.
I don't know if you saw that post I shared awhile back, but my mom actually painted my wall with the characters from those stories that I loved. There are pictures of it. I just looked it up...it was titled "The Mural and Me"...on 11/2/2008 (if you're interested to see).
Thought I'd share some history with you, dear friend :o)
