My kids had a book in the ’80′s with a green smiley face fingerpuppet that fit through a hole that went through all the pages in the book. I think it was willy or willie the worm, but I’m not sure, nor of the title. And the book may have been shaped like an apple, but I’m not sure of that, either. It is NOT the one on Amazon that says it’s a green YARN. This was a usable attached fingerpuppet. Does anyone know of this book?? Thanks!

I have two of the books from this set that I cut up (gasp!) and use to make greeting cards and decopauge. I didn’t know there were so many! Cute!

Jenny, those illustrations, and the cookbook ones below,are to die for! Thanks for sharing!
My personal faves in the ’70s were “Are you my Mother?” and “Sammy the Seal.”

Can you tell me who the publisher is on the series in the photo? It looks familiar to me…
Thanks!
