This is for you, and everyone else reading: Do not lose copies of books by me! As children's books of good quality, they are allowed to go out of print like snowflakes on a hot dachshund. I try...oh, how I try...to get publishers to bring these things out again, explaining each time that library copies are worn out, and a brand-new crop of readers has emerged every three years or so. To this, the publishers usually say, ""But....why should we reissue a book that's been published already, and everybody's seen it?"" Sometimes they say other things, like, ""I think my sleeve is wet."" You may find a copy of Wuggie Norple second-hand in some book shop, or through an internet book-finder. The price is apt to range from less than original retail to over $100.
