A real long shot, but does anyone remember this children's book from early 1980s?

Could you be thinking of a Golden Book called Blinky Bills Extraordinary Balloon Adventure?

Thanks guys.

Kris - Thanks heaps, but no. It's not a blinky bill book. Though I'm still sure the koala I'm thinking of was in a balloon. : )

Misty - OMG ... if that is the book, yes please! Will give you a gazillion rep points (if mods let me ...) if you can give me the name of it. Yay, I may have a lead!

It may not be out of print. I asked the book store about a book that I have not seen for sale in years and she said that it was still in print just something they dont stock. They may be able to order it in if it is.

FWIW the book sounds familiar but I dont know its name, sorry

Would it be a Dot and the ........ book there a varying amount of them.

I think I can picture the book but have no idea of its name, sorry

I can tell you though, that usually if you're struggling to find a book out of print etc you can find it online at the book depository... I've found so many long lost books on there

Good Luck with your lead

That sounds really familiar to me as well. I'm sure I had it read to me when I was younger.

And I don't think I'm that old... :-P

[diva det]

try Ward Sagar Book shop in Eltham vic
