My Favorite

This was my very favorite book as a child. I have never forgotten it and will never throw my poor tattered copy away. I just love this book.

My Favorite Sweet Pickles Book

My mom found this book for me at a yard sale. I think it is a great book! Enormous Elephant works at a grocery store for Responsible Rabbit. He keeps on telling her that she eats 2 times as much as she should be selling. So she has a big sale and everything goes well in the end. I really enjoyed this book and I think you will too!

Yes, we have no bananas

This is my favorite Sweet Pickles book, both because of the built in business/money lesson and because it is simply HILARIOUS! Teachers will want this book on hand when teaching about money, elephants, economics, or just for a fun read. "Everyone bought one banana so they could get two for nothing, but they didn't buy anything else! What do we do now??" It doesn't get any better than that!

Sweet Pickles

I bought the complete set of sweet pickle books for my children when they first came out. Years later I loaned them to a friend to read to her twin daughters (1990) and she refuses to return these books to me saying her daughters do not want to part with them. I love them and have read all of the books. I would like to know where I can purchase the complete set and if it will every be released again. *****do not lend anyone anything if you do not expect to get it back***** I learned the hard way.
