| Sorry, I don't have much information
about this
book. Other than it was a "little" book my mother
purchased at
Woolworth's.
Thanks.
I'm not sure of the title or the
spelling of Rudy
or Kazoody. The text I'm sure of (but not
the spelling)
in
the book is something like... "It was a bright sunny
day in Kazoody
Land. Rudy Kazoody..." Childrens book. Existed in
1950 I am very
interested.
I would definitly be interested.
save it
for me!
i have the baseball one. there are three of them
in all. do
you know the other one? about a rocket
perhaps? thank you.
hi there! thank goodness i located
your
site!
I have been looking for 2 golden books from either the
early or mid
1950's
entitled Rootie Kazootie and the Dodgerooties
and
another Rootie
Kazootie Book-something about an airplane. I have
been looking for
close to three years. These were read to us over and
over to us as
kids!
and would love to share them with my son and daughter! I
have combed
thru
many junk stores/antique dealers, etc you name it my
name and request
is
out there! Thank you for your time and help!
I am looking for a copy, in good
condition, of Rootie
Kazootie and the Pineapple Pies. I
think it was published
in the early 1950. I do not need a first edition, I am
only trying to
replace
a book that I had as a child that was burned. I
want to read the
same books to my new grandchild that is on the
way. Reading is
very
important to young children, and I am in the process of
trying to
rebuild
my collection that I had as a child. Thank You
I'm trying to find a book that my
grandmother
used to read to me. It was quite "loved" by the
time I had read
it,
so it was probably a book she read to my father.
It was about a
detective
(old fashioned style w/ a black cape and hat with a
magnifying glass)
who
was in search of polka dots. I can't remember if
the polka dots
were
disappearing, or if they were showing up in strange
places. I
remember
he looked all around town including bedsheets that were
hanging
outside.
It's been along time since I've read the book and I know
the memories
are
vague, but does that sound at all familiar? Thanks
for any help
you
can give.
Is this a Rootie Kazootie thing?
maybe one of the Big Max
stories,
by Kin Platt? Illustrated by Robert Lopshire,
the first
one
was published in 1965, and was about Big Max, the
world's greatest
detective,
looking for the missing elephant of the King of Pooka
Pooka. The cover
shows him in a deerstalker cap and caped coat, looking
through a large
magnifying glass.
Steve Carlin, Rootie Kazootie
Detective,1953.
This
is a Little Golden book in which a thief steels all the
polka dots
off of some sheets hanging on a clothesline. Rootie
Kazootie (with
deerstalker
cap and magnifying glass) and his dog track him down and
catch
him.
I have been trying to find a
book
about Polka Dottie Who had Polka Dots stolen from her
dress. My
daughters
loved this story book mid to late 1950's
Help...When I was a wee lad I had a
doll
and I
remember his name was Rootie Kazootie... Does anyone out
there remember
this doll. If so tell me about it.
surely your Rootie Kazootie doll was
merchandising
to accompany the books and videos by Steve Carlin?
Interestingly enough, I have
a
Rootie Kazutie
(yes, spelled correctly)
wearing a
striped baseball
uniform.
I have not seen another. Is it a rare item?
I have recently purchased a copy of
Rootie
Kazootie the
Detective, and
although the
cover
correctly has a picture of Poison Zoomac, the villian,
the text refers
to him as Poison Zanzaboo??? Anyone know why?
The villian in Rootie
Kazootie
Baseball
Star is Poison Zanzaboo. I just read this
story for a
metacognition
study to my 5th graders. They really liked the book.

I am in no rush and don't know the
publisher
or author of this book. I don't believe it is a
Golden Book, but
it was the size and shape of those small Goldens. It
had a very
scary
villain on the cover, dark black hair and a
mustache! This info
is
very sketchy, and I don't think it will be easy to
find. My
sister
and I read this book and had our babysitters read it to us
over and
over
again. It is from the late 50s or early 60s as I am
now 50 years
old!! I only know the title, "Polka Dot Dottie
(Dotty)." It
was a very simple story about laundry that hung on a
clothesline that
had
polka dots on it. The villain stole the polka dots,
that's all
that
I remember, probably sounds pretty dumb, but it would be
great to
obtain
a copy. My mom was not a saver unfortunately and I
seem to save
everything.
I appreciate any help you can find. Again there is
no rush.
I think this is Rootie Kazootie,
a Little Golden Book by Steve Carlin, illustrated
by Mel
Crawford.
His girlfriend was Polka Dottie, and the villain looked a
lot like
Snidley
Whiplash, with a black curly moustache. I don't have
the book
anymore,
but I remember the polka-dot-less laundry hanging on the
line.
Wow!!! I had all but forgotten I had
sent
that
request. Yes, what you describe sounds like it!! How
amazing!
Thanks so much for following up on the book. Now I have
something with
a better name to search for. Thanks so much for
remembering me
and
thinking of me. It is greatly appreciated! Thanks again
for your help,
it means alot!!
I had The Rootie Kazootie baseball
uniform on
when I hit my first home run as a small kid in a
playground game. I'd
love
to see the baseball book.
This is a childhood memory book for
my
sister
and I and we talk about finding it all the time!
Anyone remember the villian's
name? My sister
and I have been trying to remember for years!!
IN ANSWER TO SOMEONE AND HIS SISTERS
LONGTIME
QUESTIONS, THE VILLAINS NAME IN THE ROOTIE KAZOOTIE
STORY WAS POISON
SUMAC.
ROOTIES FRIENDS NAME WAS POLKA DOTTIE.
If you happen to come across
another one
of these
books, I would be greatly interested. My cousins
and I when we
were
very little did a play for our family on this story and
want to re-do
the
play again (some 40 years later) for our kids. We were
all great fans
of
rootie kazootie as it seems to come up in family reunion
conversations
all the time.
I met a man 14 years ago at an
antique
books sale.
He wrote a reference book on the value of the Golden
Books. I was
looking
for Rootie Kazootie and the Pineapple Pie.
He said there
were 4 Rootie Golden books, and the Pineapple Pie was
a
Tell-a-Tale
book. He owned it, but he didn't want to sell it at any
price because
he
was in the process of writting a resource book for
Tell-a-Tale books
and
needed it for the picture. Since then I have collected 3
Golden Books,
1 puzzle, 2 comic books and a card game. Originally all
I really wanted
was the Pineapple Pie. Still want it. Bad :)
I want to find either an original
or
replica of
the hat that the kids in the studio audience were given
when they came
in to see the broadcast. I was one of those kids
sometime in '53
when it was done at ABC-TV. I had one of those
yellow hats, with,
I think, black printing, unlike Rootie puppet's red
printing.
Funny
thing -- I was 10 at the time. 13 years later I
was working as an
ABC-TV engineer in the very same studio, with stagehands
who had worked
on the show dur. the period I was there as a kid! So a
hat like this
would
be very nostalgic. WHy isn't a copy of it
available for sale,
aloing
with the T-shirt???
I am also looking for the Rootie
Kazootie
book with Polka Dottie. How could a book so many
of us remember
so
fondly disappear?!?! I have been looking for years for
one and would
love
to get one!
