I remember getting sent out into the hall about 4th grade when this book, which i had checked out from the library, had me laughing so loudly in class. Specifically, i was reading Virginia Hamilton's poem WHAT A WONDERFUL BIRD THE FROG ARE. Anyway, the principal found me in the hallway and we went to his office for a little heart to heart. I brought the book with me, which he perused, and he let me go with a warning, so-to-speak. Odd how things like that stay with one, even after 60+ years.
