Never heard of these. Local library has this one and others. Am trying to resist placing holds as I have a ton of stuff here from the library as it is. Not to mention all teh stuff sent by others. <br /><br />The wife says we could run a bookstore from the apartment. As if the yarn queen should talk. :)Kevin R.

I know they had the Lemony Snicketts, as a read of few of them then. Heavy on imagination, which today's schools tend to discourage as the kids get older.

I'd have the same reaction I'm sure! My guilty pleasure is Daniel Handler writing as "Lemony Snickett." They seemed so adult to me. I'm sure all the literary allusions to Dante's work and Victorian writers must've completely eluded all the kids who bought those books by the thousands.<br /><br />I've always wanted to read all of these books by Pinkwater. Out here in Chicago Lifeline Theater that has adapted many of his books into extremely popular plays for young audiences. One of them -- LIZARD MUSIC -- has been revived multiple times since I moved here in 1986.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-17015348061018336242016-07-15T06:50:18.614-05:002016-07-15T06:50:18.614-05:00The Neddiad was typical Daniel Pinkwater: clever a...The Neddiad was typical Daniel Pinkwater: clever and funny!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546161337366365635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-47170461494181263312016-07-15T06:31:39.304-05:002016-07-15T06:31:39.304-05:00I knew this sounded familiar.
