Sweet Pickles
Were you born in the 1970's? If so, you may have had these books called Sweet Pickles. I absolutely LOVED them when I was a kid. There are 26 books, one for every letter of the alphabet. There was a story for each letter/animal about a 'pickle' or dilemma they would have. One of my favorites was "Quail Can't Decide." Quail has $1.00 to spend and can't decide if she can get something she wants (a shiny yellow bracelet) or something she needs (a sugar bowl). I don't want to ruin the ending for you though, so I'll leave it at that :) In the back of every book was a map of the town of Sweet Pickles that had where everyone lived and the places that were mentioned in the stories..that was my favorite part.

How fun!! I've never heard of these but they sound like a great series.
I remember some of those books. What wonderful keepsake for you to pass to your little one.

What an awesome treasure to have back! My MIL remembered me talking about the first books I ever remember reading alone (Dear Dragon books) and bought a few for our oldest son when he was a baby. Let me tell you - he's reading on his own now, and I teared up the first time he read me one of those books!! You're going to have your own kiddo reading Sweet Pickles books to you in what will seem like the blink of an eye! =)
I love sweet pickles... many people have no clue when i talk about them. :) I teach and I still read these to my students sometimes and my little boy.
Oh my gosh, Joanna! You just threw me back... WAY back. I loved these books. I really loved those maps on the back too. Wish I had my set for Maura and Thomas. Gonna have to make a search on eBay! Mel:)
