Does anybody else remember Downie Duck and Cubby Bear?

Question

I used to read these children's books from the library in 1959. No telling how old those books were then (I was in the first grade, of course). What were the other characters? Do you have copies? (These were a series of books. Can anyone tell me who wrote them, published them, illustrated them, and what the titles were?) Browser searches show nothing!

Answer 1

I think these were books used in schools. I don't know whether or not this is exactly what you need, but the two books you remembered are by the same author, so I'm sending a list of books by her.
