Looking for a 1970's Weekly Reader Book
This book that I absolutely can't remember the name of was about an old lady that lived in a
Victorian old house and had a pet alligator or crocodile. All I can remember is she sent a note by this alligator through a flood to someone in a town far away. That's all I can remember except visuals of pictures. Anyone have a clue what the title of this book is?
Thanks.

Most of those were in paper format and are long since out of print. You could check the Weekly Reader site ( Weekly Reader Magazine - Welcome Teachers, Students, and Parents) or call them at 1-800-446-3355 or call the children's department of your local library. I'm guessing you are out of luck.

I just remembered one I've been trying to think of for years. "We Were Tired of Living in a House". I loved it sooo much.

OK, I am so frustrated! I had this book when I was in the 5th grade in the 80's, I'd say it was around 1985 or 1986. Anyway, I loved this book and I lost it when I was a kid and I would give ANYTHING to find it again! I got the book from the Weekly Reader book order in school. There was a girl...
