The thing is, I’m looking for children books with “scary” animal illustrations like the big bad wolf (or a fox) eating pigs (or seven kids or Red Riding hood or birds in Chicken Little) or being pictured with a fat stomach. Could be any other animal as well. I need it for my research. Any sort of help is appreciated.

Otherwise, I'll be saving it for an RIP read. :)Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-46272355234772610172013-06-25T16:44:51.598-07:002013-06-25T16:44:51.598-07:00Thank you for pointing me toward those 2 Ackroyd b...Thank you for pointing me toward those 2 Ackroyd books on London!

I read a truly wonderful book on that topic several years ago, titled London Under London. Fantastic. Wish I owned a copy, but it's kind of rare now.<br /><br />My other favorite London books are London's Secret History, by Peter Bushell, Restoration London, by Liza Picard, and the scarily-detailed London: a History by Francis Sheppard. I wound up buying a map of London so I could trace out all the details on the ground; that really helped. :)Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-77786366738404281062013-06-25T06:41:02.708-07:002013-06-25T06:41:02.708-07:00I loved The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson, w...I loved The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson, which was set there. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
