...German robber barons. Otto of the Silver Hand. A tall tale is found in Daniel Boone's Echo, by William 0. Steele; poetry in Katherine Love's anthology, A Little Laughter; magic in Mary Norton's Bed-Knob and Broomstick; hobbies in Royal Wills's Tree Houses. The range is being pushed farther and farther from pram to prom, from pre-reading do-it-yourselfers (with buttons and Zippers fixed to the pages) to a growing number of teen-age novels (Girl Trouble, etc.) that compete with adult books...
