Looking for a book I read as a kid!! I FOUND IT!!

[Cara]

I think this is the one I had:

http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Scarr..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1J1M0BCMJTSXD9NMB4XM

It seems like a lot of the books are compilations of other books.

I can't see when it was published, I think my sister had it first in the late 70's/early 80s.

Thanks Henmama. Thats not it. Ergh. I'm thinking not Richard Scarry.

I keep remembering other stories out of it, in bits and pieces.

Halloween- the Kids went to Mr. Fox's house(he wasn't very nice), and he scared them.

A family of squirrels moved into Mr. Fox's attic. They rolled nuts around and made lots of racket and Mr. Fox would beat on the ceiling with a broom. Mrs. Squirrel thought he liked them.

In the Christmas story, Santa came while all the little animals were still awake.

A bee/fly got into the storekeepers place(which was very dusty) and he was swatting at it with a rag which was cleaning the place. He ended up wiping up all the dust by accident!

It snowed and they made sleighs out of an old wooden barrel.

There were a lot of stories in the book. ACK!!

I can remember story lines but nothing about the author or title.

For some reason I keep thinking the author was female. And I'm pretty sure the book is out of print, I think it was old when I was reading it, though I remember the book being in good condition.

Oh, and the illustrations seemed to be a little more streamlined than Richard Scarry.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help! You are a great bunch!

If you remember any specific lines, tell us, that might help us find it.

I think it was old when I was reading it,

What was the the year you remember reading it for the first time?

Was it a `glossy' hardback cover? Large format book?​

I heart Richard Scarry.
Especially his TV show on Nickelodeon from ages ago.
Sounds like one of his books...
I couldn't find anything to help... sorry.
