These are two books which are quite a bit older than I am. They were in the family before me and I have fond memories of them being read to me as a child.
Adventures with Rosalind is the story of a little boy who breaks his leg and has to stay in bed. He doesn't have a father so his mother has to go out to work and leave him at home on his own. She buys him a book to read whilst she is away each day. This turns out to be a magical book so he can dive in and share adventures with Rosalind.
Norgy in Littleland is also about a little boy. He finds himself magically made tiny enough to live in a model village. His toy dog becomes alive and the two of them have adventures.
