I remember these and I can read books, this one had a green pickle van!

YESSSS! I was hoping these would be here. I had just about every book and a green bus or van (not sure) that carried the books

OH YEAH!!! I had every single book...till my young sisters ruined EVERYTHING!!! I'll still see one here and there around my moms house, in my sisters rooms of course...but I had hoped to save them for MY kids...remember the jingle...smart moms know how kids minds grow upon sweet pickles

Yessss! I loved those books and I am trying to find a set for my kids.

They don't make books like these anymore. I read them to my kids now and I have a different voice for each character. They love it!

OMG!! I remember these books well, I had every one of them. When I was little my family moved to another neighborhood and all of them were left behind (devastated). I found out they were discontinued, I couldn't believe it. They were great books. I would love to find the full collection for my little one, some where.

I still have mine!!! Read 2 to my neice the other day!

I have the other book at my house in new york.

I loved these books as a child. My mother gave them away and we wanted them for when my husband and I have children. My mother found a set on EBay and purchased them. She spend a bundle but they are worth it. They are even in the same condition if we had our old books. What a treasure. I love Goose Goofs Off, I'll do it tomorrow!!

I had so many of these books!

I still have this set, infact I have 2 green buses full of activities. It was a collection where as you got a set every month and put them in the green bus for storage. I have a daycare and the kids of today LOVE IT.

Does anyone know where you can purchase the bus, complete with the activities and books?

OH I love those books. I still have everyone of them that my own daughters read now.

So glad I found this because I can't find anyone that knew about this. I loved to receive the books in the mail. Made me feel all grown up. They should bring this back for the kids today. They're missing out.

Yo somebody sent this to my crib when I was little and I don't know who sent it?!?! I was ecstatic... Thanx!!

I loved these, too, but I have to correct the description above. Iguana wasn't forgetful, he was insecure with who he was and kept imitating everyone else's style (like that punk Zebra, what was his name?). That's why he was called Me Too Iguana (a name I call my dog sometimes, since she copies what other dogs do, like lifting her leg like the boys!).

I remember the commercial that advertised the subscription to these books. A real green van pulls up to this kid's house and some of the characters (life-sized or wait, people-sized) jump out, ring a doorbell, give this kid her own small green bus, a book, and some balloons. They gave her a hug and tore off down the street in the van. I always looked for that darn van to pull up and personally deliver my book. Of course, costumed people riding around in vans giving presents to children were probably best avoided.

As a youngun the duck goose thing or whatever it was from the commercial scared me so much I would cry whenever the commercial came on and sometimes I'd run out of the room. As a result I wanted nothing to do with sweet pickles.

My brother was the little boy in the commercial. I happened check to see if it was on YouTube and I came across these blogs. Weird wild stuff :)

Captain Kangaroo used to read these on his show!!! Goose Goofs Off was my favorite!

i was just asking my fiance' and his sister did they remember getting sweet pickle books and cards with different animals and discription, they were looking at me like i was crazy. i had to google this to make sure i had lost my mind!lol i really enjoyed the books as a kid,learned alot from it too. makes me smile just to think about it.

I remember the tune in the commercial and the little kid screaming in the mother's face too loudly "Thanks mom!" Calm down kid. They are just books.

I loved all of these books but my favorite was Goose Goofs off. I can still remember the pictures. I wish I still had them to read to my little girl.

When my daughter was a child, she had all the sweet pickles books. Her favorite was Goose Goofs Off. Her brohter who was born 10 years later also had the pleasure of reading these books. I saved all the books and gave them to my daugher for my grand daughters. I made her promise she would save them for her brother when he has childern. I want all my grandchildren to have the pleasure their parents experienced reading these wonderful books.

Oh My Gosh!I remember when I was in kindergarten and I saw their commmercial. I would say that the merchandise was great(except for the books) as I 'm not too sure about them. All in All, very sweet memories.I never really knew what Sweet Pickles was all about!

i loved mine! i actually have 1 partial set packed away. its about the only thing that i have left from my 80's toys.
