Joe Doty, if you’re reading this, I wasn’t referring to you in yesterday’s One Big Happy about misquoting Edison’s definition of genius. I was referring to Ruthie’s brother Joe.
I would imagine that Ruthie saying she has read all of the books in the library is only what she believes as a child. As a child you don’t have the concept of just how big the world is or how many books there are to read. But she is something else!
Joe, I find most libraties very peaceful, they’re a nice place to go to spend a quiet afternoon. My mother used to volunteer in one after she retired from nursing.
I read all the traditional children’s books and stories by her age, but many have been written since (as I grew up in the 30s and 40s)- and started on O’Henry and Poe in early grade school…

What story book doesn’t start with “Once upon a time”? Please, don’t tell me.

Grog, none of the Dr. Seuss books I’ve read started that way. (Sorry, had to tell you!)(Blows Raspberry!)

I think Lucy (of Peanuts) once told Linus the world’s shortest Fairy Tale:
“Once upon a time, they all lived happily ever after. The End.”

Dick Whittington and His Cat is the book he is reading. It is a british folk tale. I had it as a kid!
