I was able to raise the first one colour blind....this one, not so  
much. I have already had to explain stuff to her that her 15 yo sister  
still dreams her way through.

I'll keep my eyes out for them and check them out. I know Roy has a  
fond memory of the Brer Rabbit series and when I took a look at an  
original, I was a little at a loss as to how to pc them.

I've gotten a big kick out of Gregory Maguire's "Leaping Beauty"  
series....updated versions of classics. Leaping Beauty, for instance,  
is a frog.  : )
