Can anyone help me idetify a book set on a canal from when I was little

[PenelopePitstops]

I used to have a book about a family that lived on a canal boat and a horse would pull them along the tow path. The girl had a party on the canal boat and everyone loved it.

The pictures were what I remember the most, lovely soft oil pastel/paintings, just gorgeous.

does anyone recognise this?

circa 1995 and aged 5 - 9

I think it's called Beetlejuice, can't find it on Google, cos there's too much TV stuff coming up. Give me a minute and I'll try to find a link.

Wrong name - it's called Snowy. Here it is!

that was it! oh how lovely

It was - I 'know' the lady in the book by sight, have occasionally chatted to her as we wait for gp, and see her around my city sometimes! It is lovely!

wow bramble!

im going to order this, i think my mum gave it away to a friend when she had her children, i really loved this book!

I love it too - I don't have a copy - should get one as we walk that part of the canal now and again - the same canal goes behind my house and I go running there (when it's not so cold and wet!).
