Thanks for the recommendation. Jennifer and I didn't see anything like that 
one at the used bookstore we went to yesterday. We tried to get to all the 
thrift stores, but they were already closed by the time we got there at 5:05 
pm! (That's fine. I used the rest of my "credit" at the used bookstore on two 
Little House books that we didn't have, another Babysitter's Club book that 
she wanted, and "The Sign of the Beaver" by Elizabeth Speare.)
