We had midnight feasts now and again but the staff were hot on the heels of any of us who tried to do so. It's where I learned to prefer Heinz Baked Beans cold. Couldn't heat them after all.

I read it around the same time I read and loved the work of Carol Ryrie Brink and Natalie Savage Carlson.<br /><br />I think this may have been the only book Ursula Nordstrom wrote, but she was also a great editor who really transformed the world of children's literature. She nurtured writers and illustrators like Maurice Sendak and Louise Fitzhugh.Jennifer R.
