Froglet Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 This is from my sister - I don’t have the answers and I’ve previously explained how not good I am at this kind of thing. Apparently they’re all children’s books... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 See you lot are good at this!! I just kept thinking along the lines of a combination of Goldilocks/3 little pigs for number 7 and couldn't figure out where a spider came in to it! So, by my reckoning the only one missing is number 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) I think it's Goodnight Moon although I agree, No. 6 is Pooh Bear, why are the icons the wrong way round? Edited April 7, 2020 by Panders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froglet Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) How about this... which books are these the opening sentences (or part sentences) of? 1. It is a truth universally acknowledged... 2. Once there was a fish and... 3. Last night I dreamt I went to... 4. All children, except one, grow up. 5. There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. 6. It was a bright, cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen. 7. When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere. 8. Once upon a time, there were four little rabbits... 9. The first place that I can well remember, was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. 10. "Where's Papa going with that axe?" PS I tried to make 4. easy!

The tales of peter rabbit? - Yes 6. is going to drive me nuts! 😂 Believe it or not I don’t think I’ve ever actually read Winnie the Pooh. I did google for some ideas for this, and scanned my bookshelves but only picked books I’ve actually read.

Froglet Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 It's one of my favourites too but I don't know the first line - I was pulling a selection off my shelf and seeing which had opening lines which I thought gave a clue but not too much of a clue! OK, only number 10 left - I think this is one of my favourites! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
