Oooh, I think you're right! (But it *is* typical of me that the cover I'd remember first has a horse on it... :D ) I never read _Little Town'_, or several others (First 4, Happy Golden etc) so I missed the episode with the kittens... My best friend and I, after reading about the incident with the Indians and the prairie fire, not only gave ourselves 'Indian' names, but had a newcomer girl convinced that we were adopted 'off the reservation.' (Well, also after seeing Disney's "Tonka Wakan" (sp?) about the lone survivor of Custer's debacle - the horse Comanche.) ;) We Spoke With Forked Tongues Maru __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
