The only 'pearl' I can remember that my grandma told me was that the reason my second toe was longer than my big toe was because I was intelligent. Hee-hee!

I went to a second-bookstore recently and I saw box after box of Disney and other licensed character books, mass-produced in vivid color, but without real story-telling vivacity. No wonder they are rejected, not saved to pass on to grandchildren.
