I saw them on ebay. They seem as if they'd be pretty easy to make, though!

Alice the Fairy

"Donning a fairy costume inspires a little girl's imagination in this droll picture book. Alice speaks for herself, claiming she can fly (not too high but really fast), can change her dad into a horse (for a horsey ride), can make herself disappear (by flicking off the light switch with her wand), and can turn oatmeal into cake by pouring on fairy dust (sugar). There are elements of danger, such as broccoli poisoned by the wicked Duchess (Mom) and baths (fairies hate baths), as well as mischief ("…my mom made cookies for my dad. So I turned them into mine") and mishaps ("Once I accidentally turned my white dress into a red one"). Alice knows that Permanent fairyhood requires a lot of tests, attending Advanced Fairy School, and learning how to "make clothes get up off the floor and… line up in the closet," so she'll "probably be a Temporary fairy forever.""

I so agree with you here... I still have a Peter Rabbit figurine (it has a wind up music box in it)...

Ooooh!!!! I don't have the music box, but I have several of the Beatrix Potter figurines. I used to collect rabbits, gave away over 200, but kept my Beatrix Potter ones. This is one of my favorites, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail:

Tacky the Penguin

(sorry can't think of the author right now)

Since someone already said Goodnight Moon (back in 2005, lol), I will have to say Gone Fishing, My Daddy and Me.

I can't remember who the author is, but I used to check this book out from the library every time I went there, and would have a fit if someone else had checked it out. I believe I thought that it was "my" book, even if someone else owned it.

I fully plan seeing the movie. Yes, I know I'm an adult.
