![]() And.the cover said it was 50 cents!Īs I looked at the cover & brushed away the cobwebs in my brain.I told my daughter the plot. And the pages are so yellowed they are more of a tan color. My copy had to have the cover taped because it was torn. ![]() It was a Scholastic book that was published in 1966. :) I was probably around 8 years old when I read it. But as I stared at the cover of Magic Elizabeth, the plot slowly came back to me.& I'm pretty sure I read this book first. (snouts? I can't think what you call that on a shark!) Anyway, I thought that was my first memory of reading a chapter book. They couldn't get a bite because of their long noses. I remember sitting at my desk in school & reading the part where the sharks are trying to take bites out of the peach as it floats in the ocean. ![]() I had thought that James and the Giant Peach was the first book I read. ![]() I think that this is the very first book I ever read. I had forgotten that it was there, & as I looked at it a flood of memories came to my mind. It came from an old box of books that had been mine when I was a kid. I found this book a few weeks ago in our daughter's bookcase. ![]()
