oh, I remember those Eddie books, who wrote them? Patti If you don't want to be accused of having a narrow mind, then stop blaming everything on the dog. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dronvor To: bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 4:04 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: Thinking of books. There was also Eddie and Gardinia, where Eddie has a pet goat which gets him in to all kinds of trouble... Anyone else remember a book called Encounter Near Venus? It was about a group of either four or five kids who are sent to their uncle for the summer but he didn't get the telegram because he was off testing his spaceship. He returns and finds the kids and they wind up visiting the planet Venus where there are beings made of light, centaurs, and other mythological creatures. At 03:26 PM 9/16/2007, you wrote: Shelly. You wrote "Eddie's Menagerie, or however you spell a collection of animals. About a boy who wants a pet, starts hanging out in a pet shop helping out the owner. . ." There were several books produced by NLS Eddy makes Music is the one I remember best, but there were several others. In one book read by Melton Metz, Eddy gets a small hand printing press and prints his own news paper. In the one I remember best Eddy Makes Music Eddy gets a trombone. This one was read by Jim Van Sickle. who did the voices. In one of the funniest seens in all Literature Eddy decides he's going to blow his trombone out the window as loud as he can. So early one morning he opens his window and prepares to blow. Eddy doesn't know two things. 1, There is a hornet's nest just outside his window, and 2, Dad is climbing a ladder to do something about this nest while it's still dark and the insects are quiescent. Eddy's trombone wakes everybody up! Jim Van Sickle also read The wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet by Elinore Cameron. I sure wish NLS would take steps to have saved all those old books.
