Can you help name a children's book about playgrounds?

Sometime in the 80s (or maybe early 90s) my grandparents had a children's book about different kinds of playgrounds. It described parks and playgrounds in the city and the country. One had water fountains, one had lots of space to run, one was small and didn't have any grass, one had a grill to cook on, etc. It was a picture book maybe 20 pages long or so. No one in my family could remember anything about it. I loved the illustrations and thought my son - who loves parks - would like it too.

Can you help name a children's book about playgrounds?
I have 2 possible suggestions.





Park book, The


Pictures by H. A. Rey (also illustrates the Curious George)


Author: Zolotow, Charlotte, 1915-


Harper and Row, copyright 1972, unpaged.





A mother describes a city park to her little boy who has lived in the country all his life.





At the playground


Author: Rockwell, Anne F.


New York, NY, USA: T.Y. Crowell, c1986, 14 p.





A little girl describes some of the things she sees and does at the playground. On board pages.





Hope you find the one you're looking for.

my mom is a mummy


the bus driver is a werewolf


in which none of these claims are actually true.

I love this book, my parents used to read this to me every single night before I would go to sleep.





"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be."
Reply:That's "I Love You Forever". It's an excellent book. I couldn't read it to my kids without crying each time. It's an excellent book to give to a new mom. It's a reminder of how precious our children are and how special the bond between parent and child is.





A five star book!

You can find them in most libraries. The best ones are written by Edward Packard, the original creator.





If the child likes scary stories, there is also the Choose Your Own Nightmare series. Also, there is the Forgotten Forest series, which is mystical/fantasy based.
Reply:Choose you own adventure is right. We've just starting carrying them again in bookstores and they've started making them for teens now, too.
Reply:I vaguely remember a couple goosebumps books that did that.
