Hockey Cards and Hopscotch

I remember this reader from grade 4 I think it was. I believe it had either all Newfoundland or all Canadian stories it it.

Hymnbook


When my sister and I were small we'd play "church" and sing hymns from this hymnbook. I think ours was blue or green.

School Day Treasures


When my younger sister, brother and I were growing up we had these scrapbook/photo albums. They were called School Day Treasures and there was a page for each grade in school. There were spaces to write in your teachers' names, activities you were involved in, a place for photos and each page was a folder where you could keep mementos like report cards and other school work. My sister probably still has hers. Our books had a different cover than what is shown here but the inside pages were the same.

Ogilvie Cookbook


Mom had this cookbook and it was well used. The jacket was missing but it had a pink hard cover. I remember making a coconut cake using a recipe from this cookbook when I was a teenager.

The Little Red Caboose


I remember this book. I don't know if my brother owned it or if I got it from the school library, but it's familiar.

Archie Comics


My younger sister, brother and I bought a lot of Archie comics, especially when we were on vacation. These are from the 70's and we probably read them.

RN Novel


I think this was my older sister's book but of course I read it, probably more than once. I also had the novel "Student Nurse" by the same author and enjoyed them both.

Student Nurse Book


My Sunday School teacher gave me this book one year for Christmas. She knew that my oldest sister had just finished nurse's training and thought this would be appropriate. I enjoyed the book.

Driftwood & Dandelions Reader


I remember using this reader in grade 4. I think it was full of Canadian stories. We also had one called "Hopscotch & Hockey Sticks" but so far I have not found that for sale on eBay.

Baby Book



My 2 older sisters, older brother and I had baby books like this. I loved looking through it at what Mom had written in it. She had a lock of my hair from my first haircut, a drawing I had drawn when I was 3 and many photos.

The Lure of the Labrador Wild Book


We had to read this book in high school, what torture! I think I was the only one in the class who read it through, most of my friends admitted that they didn't read it. It was so boring, I was just waiting for the main character to finish eating his boot leather and die already. At least then it would be over.

We owned this book, Native Trees of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Newfoundland Commemorative Cookbook


This cookbook was put out in 1974 to celebrate 25 years of confederation. Mom and Dad bought one for each of us. It was filled with traditional Newfoundland recipes and Mom used it often.

I Chose Canada Book (by Joey Smallwood)


My father gave this to my older sister one year for Christmas. I am not sure if she read it, I know I didn't, I was too young to be interested in politics at the time (I'm not really interested in it now either).

Native Trees of Canada Book


I vaguely remember this book. I don't know if we owned it or if I saw it at the library.
Edit: My older sister told me that she owned this book, she won it for writing an essay in grade 8. And she still has the book today.

The Witch Next Door Book





My sister owned this book and we really enjoyed it. She got it from one of the very popular school book orders.
