Help me find some stuff.

Back in the late 70's early 80's there was a childrens book series called SWEET PICKLES.
I remember reading these books when I was a wee minicon.
They are great books.
Sweet Pickles is a series of 40 children's books by Ruth Lerner Perle, Jacquelyn Reinach, and Richard Hefter. The books are set in the fictional town of Sweet Pickles and are about anthropomorphic animals with different personalities and behavior. There are 26 animals—one for each letter of the alphabet.
A- Alligator
B- Bear
C- Camel etc...
The books were published in 1977 and went out of print in the mid-1990s. The series' name is a pun; in each book, the main character gets into a "pickle" (a difficult situation) because of an all-too human personality trait. The front endpapers of the books portrayed the 26 characters, and the back endpapers portrayed a map of the town.



There was 1 book for each of the 26 Characters...

Galvy I remember those. Since my wife is pregnant with my 1st I asked my mom if she still has them (she is a retired kindergarden teacher). She is in the process of looking. Those books were awesome waaayyyy back in the day.

We all expect cigars!!
When is the due date?

Yes those books were awesome back in the day. I hope your mother finds those old books so you can read them to your child.

Do you remember the city map on the back inlay of the book?
I used to sit and study that map for hours.
I wish they would release those books again.

due date is 2/25/10. yeah i read those cover to cover many times. temper tantrum turtle kicks ass. can't believe I remember this.

Oh, I remember those! I was in first grade, and Miss Bellows the guidance councelor would read these books to us and there were tapes with voice actors for some of them. She'd leave us with those a lot and go have a smoke.

anyhoo.......... ;)

I'll be on the lookout for these books for you!

I remember that in the late 80's early 90's there was a special offer on television that f you ordered over the phone, and paid with a credit card you got like four books, and a plastic Sweet Pickles bus to store the books in with stickers in the windows of it portraying the characters.

I've read about four of those, and those were fun books to read as a kid. Man, I even reread them later on when my neices got some from a local libary. I wish they still had them.

wow let me dust the cobwebs off of this thread.

I was able to find all orginal 26 Sweet Pickles books. My daughter has them all now.

Excellent! Glad you were able to hook her up with some quality reading material. ;)

I read them more than she does LOL!!
