...then, on the other hand, why look a gift bear in the mouth? With the holiday season at hand, the book suggests some redoubtable opportunities for Christmasmanship-what better gift for the child who has everything? And for just any old reader with two years of Latin somewhere in his past and Junior's copy of Winnie-the-Pooh in his other hand, the Lenard translation will readily provide a week or so of verbal fun and fireside games-a contribution to nursery literature that can only be compared to E.
