Vintage Childrens Books

Beezus and Ramona

Newbery Award winner Beverly Cleary delivers a humorous portrayal of the ups and downs of sisterhood.

Both the younger and older siblings of the family will enjoy this book. 

Henry Huggins

In the first novel from Newbery Medal–winning author Beverly Cleary, boys and girls alike will be charmed instantly by an average boy whose life is turned upside down when he meets a lovable puppy with a nose for mischief.

Thimble Summer

A silver thimble and a new friend make a girl's summer magical in Elizabeth Enright's Thimble Summer.

The Saturdays

Written more than half a century ago, The Saturdays unfolds with all the ripe details of a specific place and period but remains, just the same, a winning, timeless tale. T

Gone-Away Lake

Newbery Honor Book

Summer has a magic all its own in Elizabeth Enright's beloved stories about two children and their discovery of a ghostly lakeside resort. 

The Great Brain

This first book in the series is a great combination of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Terrible Two series, and is perfect for fans of Roald Dahl.

Whether it's saving the kids at school, or helping out Peg-leg Andy, or Basil, the new kid at school, the Great Brain always manages to come out on top-and line his pockets in the process.

The Children of Noisy Village

 In this gently humorous tale, master storyteller Astrid Lindgren takes us through a year in the lives and customs of six Swedish children living on a group of three farms in the countryside.

Betsy-Tacy

Betsy and Tacy have lots of fun together. They make a playhouse from a piano box, have a sand store, and dress up and go calling. And one day, they come home to a wonderful surprise—a new friend named Tib.

Ever since their first publication in the 1940's, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.

Man of the Family

Fortified with Yankee ingenuity and western can-do energy, the Moody family, transplanted from New England, builds a new life on a Colorado ranch early in the twentieth century.

Ballet Shoes

Three orphan girls. A pair of pink slippers. A lifetime in the spotlight. Read the classic that has captivated generations!

    You’ve picked some beautiful titles, here. Thimble Summer is a wonderful choice. I like to pair it with Strawberry Girl.
