Thanks for the heads-up review! One great thing about children's literature is that it usually doesn't take very long to read! :) I've got "The Cat in the Hat" in bilingual Spanish as well as English, and I have found that it acts as the best book relief possible for depression. Not only that, but it helps me refresh my Spanish I was taught previously. I have never had more fun in a class (High School or College), than a foreign language class. There was another children's book that my high school English teacher raved about back in 1975, I think it was "Amphigorey" or something like that. That had some interestingly fun black humour, especially "The Bug Book".Mitch
