I'm looking for a book I had when I was 5/6 years old. That would have been 1938/39. I'm 87 now and still remember it, but I can't remember the name. It's about a little girl trying to dress herself. She had lots of problems doing it right.

Great list!Are you familiar with Open Library? my favourite resource for old books to read online. You can borow books for 2 weeks at a time,and renew if nobody else wants them.
All the bookson the list are available,apart from Ant Ventures.lol.They are scans of the original books,so rather brown and dark and the website is a bit clunky to use,but at least rare and rather obscure books Over 28,000 childrens books! are available to read for free.I can get lost for ages just clicking from book to book! lol.
Ohand btwThey have at least half a dozen of Grace Moon's Indian stories.

In reply to Margot. Might it be "The Museum Comes to Life" by Maribelle Cormack and William P. Alexander?

Pretty sure Bette's mother is talking about the Chi-Wee and Loki books by Grace Moon:

In reply to Momand Kiddo. The Milly-Molly-Mandy stories were among my mother's books she read as a child, and consequently the first books I read by myself. I loved them and have all four in the series. They are still being published in the UK because they are still very popular there.

In reply to Margot. That sounds like a fun book, but I haven't read anything like that. Good luck with your search.
