Books with author Winifred Lubell

In the Bird Market in the center of Paris lived Mister Bonaparte, his song birds, his talking black bird Gaston, and Rosalie, his pet turtle. People came from all over the city to visit the Bird Market on Sundays and beautiful bird songs were heard, except when Gaston sat on Rosalie's back and croaked "Ro-sa-lie!" Of course, the childrne loved it. Gaston particularly liked the Strawberry Lady and stole strawberries as often as he could. Strangely, Rosalie liked strawberries too. One Sunday Rosalie disappeared and Mr. Bonaparte was sad, and the children were too, and Gaston was sent to look all over Paris for the lost turtle. Following Gaston in his search, you will learn a lot about Paris and, also, what happened to Rosalie.
