This Week in Book History

Lewis (2) A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeline L' Engle and (3) WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS by Shel Silverstein. Well, it just so happens that September 25th marks the 69th birthday of Mr. Silverstein. Oh, and here's a little known fact about everybody's favorite childhood poet: he was a cartoonist for Playboy magazine!!
