Description

The listing, "No Flying in the House" by Betty Brock has ended.

Annabel suddenly appeared on Mrs. Vancourt's terrace one day. She looked like an ordinary little girl, but was she? Where did she come from? Where are her parents? What is the mysterious birthmark on her shoulder? Why should she -- and nobody else -- be able to kiss er elbow?
The only one who knows is her gardian, Gloria -- a tiny dog just three inches long. It is Gloria's job to protect Annabel and keep her secret -- no matter what.

Your child will love this book, or even you. Whenever people ask me what my favorite book is, this is the one I name -- that gets a few weird looks when I'm asked at work or places like that. But I love it so much. I just thought I'd give it away to someone else to build good memories. I'm waiting for them to make a version to go on the Kindle!

The book was published in 1970 so the pages are yellowing and there are a small amount of imperfections. One of the first pages has a tiny piece of the corner missing and some pages are folded. The sides of the spine are slightly worn, and it says "Jost" on the inside front cover. But this is all what you get from an old childrens book. It even has pictures on the inside! A must with a childrens book, great to find in a childrens chapter book. I got the picture of the book from google images because I don't have a camera with me. I'll post a picture of the actual book I have tomorrow. That is the book cover you will be getting though.

I'm starting the bids off at 75 because of the shipping costs. Hopefully it gets higher than that.

how many pages is it? Is it a read with your child book or one that they could read alone. I use to read to my oldest daughter but all the books we have are sooo worn (got alot of use out of them, fondest memories) now that I need new one for the little one.

157 pages. I read it in fourth grade and had a little trouble understanding a few parts, I understood it better after I read the whole book though. If you're going to read it with the little one and are able to answer questions then that would work out perfect. It's a really cute story :)
