I think I have finished my "Mouse" bibliography. It's 79 pages long and contains children's books that have a mouse, mice or rat as the protaganist. I know there are titles that I have missed, and some I excluded-like all of the Mickey Mouse titles on purpose. I don't know why I didn't include Mickey, I like Mickey and his wife Minnie. Did they ever get hitched? I had a huge meltdown when I got to books about Mickey and I just didn't include them. I will more than likely go back and include them, because I want to stop feeling guilt about it and I also want to be as thorough and accurate as I can. And if you are old enought to remember you may recognize those two cuties above-that's Pixie and Dixie of course.
I think anyone that compiles a bibliography has that nagging feeling, that doubt, that SOMETHING IS MISSING.
I have now decided to start compiling another bibliography again on children's literature, but the subject is jazz. The impetus for this is Wynton Marsalis' book on jazz Jazz ABZ and also the book Celia Cruz: Queen of Salsa by Veronica Chambers. I'm not so sure Ms. Cruz was a jazz singer, but she sure was amazing.
If anyone can think of any titles please let me know.

Oh my Ms. Libby,
Your blog is not displaying well for me, on a Mac and dial-up.
Did you switch to beta-Blogger?
Just wondering. Otherwise, some other tweaking? Has taken me a while to find a way to post here.
Very hard to read, background and text almost indistinguishable. I like you but dang, this is NOT what you want.
Check it out on various other kinds of machines? Lots of folks seem really happy with betaBlogger after some breaking in period.
Hope all is well!
Hi Laundress,
I don't know what I did. I do not know html at all. I went in and tried to do a few things, change the font, etc. and I thought it was okay. I didn't change to beta; I am clueless as to how to do that. When I bring it up using Internet Explorer it's fine. Also on Netscape. I'll see if I can get some help from somewhere. Thanks for letting me know.
L.
