Constant Reader was right to recommend Extra Yarn, by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Jon Klassen when I asked about picture books, it is delightful! It starts with Annabelle finding a box of yarn ... there's a nasty archduke, and a bit of magic,and wonderful, gentle illustrations. From County Reader came Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, by Virginia Lee Burton (see March 19, 2016), and The Adventures of Tin-Tin, by Herge a series of (I've learned) 24 comic books! Mom had some of these, too, but her copies were in French.
