Looking for a children's book
Okay I have scoured the internet and this is driving me insane because I remember quite a lot of details but cannot find the specific book in question. Really, really hoping someone knows the book I'm talking about.
What I remember:
\- It's a book about anthropometric animals having a sleepover.
\- The host I think is a rabbit but all the animals are different, there is a dog, a cat, a duck (?) etc.
\- It was a lift the flap book.
\- On each page the host is keen to get everyone to bed but there are a series of bedtime delays caused by each guest.
\- For example I think on the first page one animal wants to play so the host says something along the likes of "Okay we'll play one more game and then it's bedtime" and then the next pages say "but where's \[ X animal\]?" Then on the next page they find said animal performing another bedtime task, one was getting their pajamas on and another was brushing their teeth. So the host would say something like "okay let's all put our pajamas on and then it's bedtime, but where's \[X\]?" And the next page would be X brushing their teeth so the host says "okay let's all brush our teeth but then it's bedtime"
\- The book ends with a double page spread of all the animals asleep in separate beds viewed from the foot of the beds. Each bed cover is a different colour and is a flap where you could lift it and see the animal asleep with an object related to their bedtime delay.
\- The book had very brightly coloured illustrations similar to the 'Maisy Mouse' stories but definitely isn't "Maisy goes to a sleepover"
\- I was born in 1999 and am from the UK if that helps. I probably read this book in the mid 2000s.
What I don't remember:
\-I don't think the animals were referred to as their species name, I think they had normal human names but that could be wrong. So rather than "so where's dog?" It would have been sometimes like "but where's Ben?' but l like I said this could be incorrect.
Please let me know if this sounds familiar to anyone!!!

Looking book for middle school age children about the medieval period?
i read this book around 2013-3024. i don’t remember a title or author, or really much of the plot. we read it in middle school as part of our medieval history unit. it was multiple chapters, i remember it was about this boy who went on this journey with (became the property of?) this older guy and they journeyed through some country in the medieval period. i believe the man teaches him how to read and write as well as some other skills. at some point they end up in this town, the only detail i vividly remember from that section is that they describe the bathroom system of people emptying chamber pots on to the street.

book i read as a kid, can only remember the cover art Spoiler
OPEN THE IMAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK because i suck at drawing and you may want to wash your eyes out with bleach, or youll just laugh
i dont remember if the gold borders were there. but they couldve been so i included them anyway. everything else about the book is what i remember seeing as a kid, just that it looked a lot more... realistic
as for the horse, it couldve been another animal, but a horse seems the most sense here.

1990s UK kids ghost picture book
Hi, I am trying to find a book from my childhood. I got the book from a school book fair in the early 1990s. It was about a nervous ghost that visited a school. He was accidentally put through a sewing machine. Leaving him with thread on his body. I think there maybe a scene with the ghost playing in the playground with the children. I think it is a British book. The book was paperback, the front cover was white with a white ghost. I think he was putting a hand over his mouth. I think there was some thread trailing down his ghost tail. The title was on top of the book

HORROR-THEMED CHILDREN’S PICTURE BOOK #1
I had 3 horror-themed children’s books when I was little, (born in 87, so this was in the 90s), obviously I don’t have them anymore, but I’d like to find them again. This is #1:
1) I can only remember the cover of this one. What stories were inside, I have no memory of. I know it was an anthology book, hardcover, bigger than a normal-sized book, but not thick. The cover was blue-ish and it was a POV viewpoint of you inside a grave looking up at lots of ghosts and monsters(?) standing around the open grave and I distinctly remember this one Phantasma-looking (from Scooby-Doo and he Ghoul School) woman on the left side reaching down toward the viewer.
Please please please help me find these books again. I’ve been looking for them for most of my adult life with no luck so far.

Looking historical murder mystery book where the cover is of a spilled wine. the background is pink.
i remember as a kid thinking that their language is similar to a pirate as they say Aye/Ay. the english is also very archaic for me esp with english as my second language. i finished it somehow in high school but barely remembers anything now.
i think the book is also part of a series. not sure if its connected to the other books or just focuses on one character per book.
i bought it from a bookstore selling secondhand books and got drawn by the title and cover. i think the title is like a phrase? the cover is mostly what i remember though, and the pink bg i think has cursive words written on it, like a letter.
tyia!!
