Help me find some old Disney books

The current Disney books are horrible. Bad writing. Plastic covers.
The Disney books I grew up with were so fun to read.
One of them had illustrations of a coyote howling. There were rock formations that looked similar to what you can see in Utah.
There was another book that had a story about Mickey Mouse & flowers growing in the winter.
There was another book about a picnic with Mickey, Goofy, and friends.
Unfortunately, my little brother was feral (weren’t we all) and he enjoyed tearing books apart. They didn’t survive our childhood. 😭
Any of the descriptions ring a bell? I’ve tried looking on eBay for them, but I have no idea what year they were written or what their titles were.

Look up Abe books or ThriftBooks

Donald Duck and the Magic Stick was a favorite of mine as a kid. You can find it on Amazon.

Oh my goodness! This book is the reason why I’m still obsessed with cherry pies. 🥧
There were a number of Disney stories that prominently featured foods and feasts. I loved all those stories!
Thank you so much for unlocking this memory from 45+ years ago! 💕
Looks like it’s pretty easy to find a copy of it too now that you’ve given me the title of the book.

Glad I could help! You unlocked this memory for me, I probably haven't thought of this book since the Love Boat was on the air :)

The one with the coyote howling sounds like it could be an adaptation of the Pecos Bill cartoon. Not sure about the other one.

Disney has been having a rough couple of years. I would not count on anyone selling books on eBay.
