I have a huge collection of them, getting close to having them all but some are getting hard to find and I think some new ones are being released in digital only but have to double check that

Oh!  I would gladly trade you my extra Grumpling for your Leo the Lop.  =)  I've been looking for that one. ^.^  If you'd be willing to see any of your extras too, I'd be willing to purchase a few (I don't have Grampa Lop, Little Mouse on the Prairie, and Poppyseed). Just shoot me a pm whenever you get the chance. ;)

This is so cool that I stumbled upon this thread.  I actually loved to books as a child and would try to pick them up whenever I could.  If I see them at garage sale's and things like that I still pick them up.  I don't really collect them in stores or anything. I've always loved the art work in them.  They are so beautiful.  Flutterby was my first book I believe. 
Here's what I've acquired overs the years:
Buttermilk Bear
Dragolin
Frazzle
Flutterby
Grampa-Lop
Glitterby Baby
In search of the Saveopotomas
Jake o' Shawnasey
Jalopy
Kartusch
Kiyomi
Leo the Lop
Little Mouse on the Prairie
Maynard's Mermaid
Memily
Ming Ling
Misty Morgan
Rhubarb
Serendipity
Snaffles
Sniffles
The Dream Tree
Trafalgar True
Trapper
Zippity Zoom

Does anyone know if they have a site with all the listed books and pictures of the covers by chance?

I don't collect them, but reading this thread reminded me that my habit of calling people who refuse to throw things out a "Hordasaurus" came from this book:

In search of the Saveopotomas

So I should probably hunt that one down and frame it, since it's had a long-lasting impact on my psyche!  :lol:

Blonde I use the author's website for my information, I don't know when the last time it was updated was but here it is: http://www.stephencosgrove.com/pdf/Serendipity_Catalog.pdf  It has pictures of each of the books with a brief description as well as the publishing timeline.

I only had a few as a kid, but I pick them up from yard sales and thrift stores when I find them.  I used the Wikipedia entry on them to make a list of what I'm missing but there are no cover images there.  I did find this list which appears to be complete and has some covers: http://www.listal.com/list/serendipty-books  I know a couple of titles changed at some point (Leo the Lop Tail 4 = Grandpa Lop) and I think the last book (Puddle Pine) is only available as an ebook.

I'm missing:
Buttermilk Bear
Crabby Gabby
Dragolin
Frazzle
Gigglesnitcher
Kiyomi
Lady Rose
Maynard's Mermaid
Minikin
Morgan and Yew
Napoleans's Rainbow
Persnickity
Pish Posh
Puddle Pine (ebook only?)
Sadie
Sooty Foot
Tail of Three Tales
Tee Tee

I think I misplaced my copy of Shimmeree as well and hope I didn't sell it by mistake (I had two copies at one point).

Somewhere I have a few doubles - just have to remember where I put them.
