They will start shipping by Sept 15th. <br /><br />Yes we did use the full color version which Simon & Schuster did in the 1990s. <br /><br />Thanks for recommending The Cookie Tree, other people have asked for it too. I'll have to locate a copy so I can read it!

I found your re-issue of Miss Suzy when we were travelling, and immediately bought it. I would love to see The Cookie Tree, also from Parents Magazine Press, I think, by Jay Williams.

Ellis to our boys when they were 4 and 6. There are 4 sets of three books each. Each set has one common character, Deerfoot - an Indian. They were written in the late 1800s and have wonderful dry humor. They are difficult to find and are expensive but a great find. Here is a list of the books:<br /><br />The “Boy Pioneer” Series : <br />Ned in the Woods Ned on the River Ned in the Block House<br /> <br />The “Log Cabin” Series : <br />The Lost Trail Camp-Fire and Wigwam Foot-prints in the Forest<br /> <br />The “Deerfoot” Series : <br />The Hunters of the Ozark The Camp in the Market The Last War Trail<br /><br />The "New Deerfoot" Series:<br />Deerfoot in the Forest <br />Deerfoot on the Prairie <br />Deerfoot in the Mountains<br /><br />There are some sites that have reprints, or you can find them on other sites for sale.Sharon Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010456478675071085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517214319955981187.post-61930719165893592902011-01-08T16:53:16.776-05:002011-01-08T16:53:16.776-05:00Will Benjamin Dilley's Thirsty Camel also be r...Will Benjamin Dilley's Thirsty Camel also be re-released at some time?Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782536809894830184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517214319955981187.post-5731961109124755672011-01-03T22:11:38.740-05:002011-01-03T22:11:38.740-05:00What a great sale, Jill!

I owned the book as a child and LOVED it. Funny thing is, I didn't even like jellybeans! I just liked the adventure and the illustrations. Now it can't be found in good condition for under $200 and from what I can tell there are throngs of people out there who would love to find it at a more reasonable price. It would be amazing to have it re-printed so we could share it with our babies and our babies' babies. Thank you for the work you do. I think it is wonderful that you are saving memories and works of art. Kudos to you and your group!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09447588726284540265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517214319955981187.post-9932237317405049662010-01-10T16:18:59.475-05:002010-01-10T16:18:59.475-05:00Hi Jill,

My Mom took out our copy this year and it is so tattered and worn, we all fear for the poor book's life! Especially with trying to let the grandkids see the pictures. Thank you for reprinting this wonderful book! I know it almost by heart! <br />I'm sure everyone I went to grade school with will be very happy too! My Mom would bring in our copy and read it to my class every year from kindergarten until 6th grade... no class party was complete until The Snitcher had come.sarah's wormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172843043632108911noreply@blogger.com
