Twain: celebrated frog
Oh, that's a good one!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Eleanor Estes! The Moffats!
And Elizabeth Enright! Gone-Away Lake, Return to Gone-Away, the Melendy stories: The Saturdays, Four Story Mistake, etc.
Enright might be a tad old for a 3rd grade reader, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What about Edward Eager? Half-Magic, Seven-Day Magic, Knight's Castle, and so on.

I love those also!
At a certain point in my childhood I realized I could happily graze in the "E"s and read Estes, Enright and Eager.

I don't know Estes or Enright, but Edward Eager was my jam. Him and E. Nesbit. Also E.W. Hildick. And Allan W. Eckert. So I also liked E's, it seems.

I should track down the Enright stuff and see if it bears up. My middle school library had a big 3-volume omnibus of the Melendy books, and I regularly checked it out. That and teh volumes of the encyclopedia, thick enough to keep me occupied for more than a day or two.

oooh, definitely! I loved the Melendy books, but I think they're too old for that age.
