[PW] Children's book from late 40s or early 50s

[Dana Dalrymple]

I only have vague recollections of the reader series being Reading
Caravan, which included the titles Sky Blue, Peppermint Fence, Star
Bright and others - 
http://online.taylor.lib.wv.us/webopac/titleinfo?k1=76821&k2=21280.
Here is an author list for Star Bright, but I have no idea if this was
the one I read the story in -

This could be a wild goose chase...

Or I could have mis-remembered.  Do you have details?
