This is a repost of the April quiz.  The deadline's still the
end of the month.

NOTE:  I recently got around to compiling a list of the sources
of the quotes in all the quizzes I've done so far (including
the holiday quiz but excluding the April quiz).  If you'd like
a copy, send me email.

***********************************************************


Here's the Kids' Book Quiz for April.

The rules again:  you get a point for the author, a point for
the book/story/poem, and an extra point for more specific
identifications in such cases as chapter books and collections
of stories or poems.  I try to take quotes from fairly well-
known books, but I'm guilty of throwing in really great quotes
from little-known books.  NOTE:  AS OF THIS QUIZ, I AM NO LONGER
GUARANTEEING THAT I WON'T QUOTE THE SAME AUTHOR TWICE.  (I made
it to my self-imposed goal of 99 authors with no repeats!)  This
doesn't mean that all the quotes in here come from books and
authors I've used before--in fact, most of them are from "new"
authors--I'm just not promising to not reuse authors.

Please feel free to look up the quotes, ask friends, form teams,
whatever.  The basic rule is to enjoy yourself.

EMAIL your answers to me and I'll tell you your score.  I'll
post answers at the end of the month.  I'll repost the quiz
mid-month, in case you miss it first time 'round.

My thanks to this month's contributors:  Kathi Lawder, Jan Wisenfeld,
Beth Weiss, Kate Dudding, and Dale Miller.  Keep those contributions
coming!!!  Remember:  contributors to quizzes get points for
correctly identifying their own contributions--it's my special
incentive program.

Have fun!

*****************APRIL KIDS' BOOK QUIZ******************************

1.  When the music was over the band was hungry.
    So were the alligators.
    What's for Dinner?
    Something tender!
    Something juicy!
    Swamp Band Stew!
    
    
2.  "I want you to let Caddie run wild with the boys.  Don't keep her in 
    the house learning to be a lady.  I would rather see her learn to plow 
    than make samplers, if she can get her health by doing so.  I believe 
    it is worth trying.  Bring the other girls up as you like, but let me 
    have Caddie."
    
    
3.  Bubble, bubble, pasta pot.
    Boil me up some pasta, nice and hot.
    I'm hungry and it's time to sup.
    Boil enough pasta to fill me up.
    
    
4.  The doctor was delighted with Stuart and said that it was
    very unusual for an American family to have a mouse.
    
    
5.  Still, she thought after quite a long deliberation, it was probably
    all right to tell her children, first making them promise to keep
    it secret.  They were, after all, the children of Jonathan Frisby.
    For all she knew, and for all Nicodemus knew, they were likely to
    turn out to be quite different from other mice, and they had a right
    to know the reason.
    
    
6.  Then the hotelkeeper would have to admit that there was no rule at
    all about penguins.  And of course, when he saw how neat the penguins
    were, and how other guests came to his hotel in the hope of seeing
    them, he was very glad to have them.  You might think that a large
    hotel would offer a great many opportunities for mischief to a lot of
    penguins, but they behaved very well, on the whole, never doing
    anything worse than riding up and down too often in the elevators, and
    occasionally biting the brass buttons off some bell-boy's uniform.
    
    
7.  The companions following, Taran and Eilonwy left the chamber.  But at the
    cottage door, Taran drew back and turned to Dallben.  "Can one such as I
    rule a kingdom?  I remember a time when I jumped headfirst into a thorn bush
    and I fear kingship will be no different."
    
    "Very likely more nettlesome," put in Eilonwy.  "But should you have any
    difficulties, I'll be happy to give you my advise.  Right now, there's only
    one question: Are you going in or out of this doorway?
    
    
8.  The King told the Queen,
    "My dear, my dear,
    Any friend of our friend 
    Is welcome here."
    

9.  Buffeted and blown, [they] arrived in Stanton.  They spotted the school
    as the rain died away.  They didn't know which road the car had taken,
    so they flew in ever widening circles, keeping fairly low.
    

10. Frog said, "I wrote 'Dear Toad, I am glad that you are my best friend.
    Your best friend, Frog."

    "Oh," said Toad, "that makes a very good letter."
