  5. I’m so glad someone mentioned the Clementine books! I’m looking at Bobbi Katz’s book ONCE AROUND THE SUN, and it’s positively full of orange, inside and out! I’ll also add THE BUTTER BATTLE BOOK by Dr. Seuss and SISTERS & BROTHERS by Steve Jenkins.
    Jama, you may have just convinced me to reorder my shelves by color. Wouldn’t that be fun? At the very least, it would be a great procrastination project!

  9. Reordering by color definitely sounds like a great way to procrastinate. But think of the aesthetic pleasure! Think I’m going to round up some red and green books for the holidays, too. 🙂

  14. Oh! I’m not at home with a) my camera or b) a way to upload a pic, but the first book that comes to mind is Susan Marie Swanson’s TO BE LIKE THE SUN, ill. by Margaret Chodos-Irvine. So yellowy and sunny and orangey and beautiful!
    (Probably more Spring-y, but still…See the lovely cover: http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780152057961)

  20. Any Beatle bubble gum cards?
    This is a very sad (and foolish) story.
    In one of my one part “I’m a teenager who needs to move on from the Beatles” and one part “I’m the older cousin who’s going to bestow a major gift on my fav cousin (who I thought was a Beatles fan too)”—I gave a shoe box STUFFED with Black and White, COLOR (almost all 3 or 4 series) and some Hard Day’s Night’s cards to my cousin Gary. He would have rather’d baseball cards it appears, for he couldn’t recollect what he did with them when I asked a couple of years later.
    I was devastated! I’d given away a King’s Ransom!
    A FOOL and his money (and Beatle cards).
    Fortunately, my wife had some B&W ones she gave me when we “a-courtin'”
    😦

  22. Re: Any Beatle bubble gum cards?
    I feel your pain! I gave away some dolls and books (reluctantly) that I wish I still had now. I do remember having some Beatles cards (not a shoebox full like you did), along with magazines. All gone now. Sigh.

  29. Yep, she bought them, herself. Of course, she’s now down to about $3. 😛
    Alas, I couldn’t think of a good orange book to offer for your collection, except maybe this one? It’s only sort of orange, but the best I can think of at the moment; we have some books with orange spines, but the rest of the cover isn’t.
