Part Three

 

One of the worst things about growing up is you get kicked out of the children's section of the library. I mean, you learn to read and life is one long happy string of books, from Peter Pan to Winnie the Pooh to Harriett the Spy, but then you reach a certain age and you're supposed to graduate and spend the rest of your life reading grown-up books. Well, have no fear. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, it's children's books, for us.
