    Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet, Eating of curds and whey. There came a great spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away.    
This odd little nursery rhyme is familiar to us all but have you ever wondered, like I have, about what Miss Muffet was thinking as she sat dreamily eating her curds and whey?  And what are curds and whey, anyway? Her tuffet?  would that be a piece of furniture or a piece of her anatomy?  And of course the large spider, what was she thinking? I'll bet she was as scared as Miss Muffet !!   
  Well, Frank Baum, the beloved author of the Wizard of Oz series, finally tells us the whole story about Miss Muffet and her little known struggle for freedom from the many nursemaids who watched her constantly.  True, her parents were very rich but their sad little girl, Muffet, was never allowed to do anything fun at all like run in the grass or play in the mud as she longed to do.  Will she succeed? Listen and find out.

    Robbie Darko is a magician. An old-school, pull-a-rabbit-out-of-your-hat-style magician. Robbie loves magic and he’s good at it—sort of. Despite his best efforts, passion, and practice, something always goes wrong with his tricks, landing Robbie in trouble. Enter crotchety Grandma Melvyn, who calls everyone “Trixie” and complains about everything. When Grandma Melvyn moves in and takes over his room, Robbie discovers that she was once an internationally renowned magician and learns about the heartache that turned her into a bitter woman. Against all odds, Robbie and Grandma Melvyn form an uneasy alliance to show the world—or at least the kids of Hobson Elementary School—that he is a true magician. Shortly after a successful talent show, Grandma Melvyn performs a final disappearing act, and Robbie learns a little about the true meaning of magic. Written with pitch-perfect middle-grade humor and unforgettable characters, this gem of a novel will stay with readers long after Dorko the Magnificent has taken his final bow.

    Old King Cole was a merry old soul, 
And a merry old soul was he; 
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl 
And he called for his fiddlers three 
"OLD KING COLE was not always a king, nor was he born a member of any royal family. It was only chance—"hard luck" he used to call it—that made him a king at all. He had always been a poor man, being the son of an apple peddler, who died and left him nothing but a donkey and a fiddle. But that was enough for Cole, who never bothered his head about the world's goods, but took things as they came and refused to worry about anything." and so begins the story of how this happy soul became the king of a country by accident.
