Little neighbor Nita

Little neighbor Nita, Wenatchee, Cashmere St. '38.
Written in pen on the front margin is Nita and 40.

If you know what became of Nita ( Anita? Juanita? ), a toddler girl who lived on Cashmere Street in Wenatchee, Washington in the late-1930s or early-1940s, I would love to hear from you at moonchildbooks@comcast.net. She would be around 75 years old in 2011.

Why is she crying?

She cries cause she's lost and doesn't know what she wants.

Itchy Richard

Dear Barb

Itchy Richard made my head itch. I rilly liked it. It was relly funy. But I do not ander stand it. Why Richard has the nit in Richard head on the caver.


Dear Alli,

When I look closely at the picture, I see a white spot in Richard's hair, too. But he didn't have lice! Maybe it's a mistake from the illustrator. A nit is so small, it would be harder to see than the white dot on the cover.

It was a funny book, but I also learned a lot about lice! We know here at Island School that teasing people about having lice is not such a good idea. The lice could be on your head next.

Love, Barb


[Unfortunately, I'm not sure which Itchy Richard cover design Alli refers to, as there are several. I didn't see a white spot in Richard's hair on either of them, at least visible online.]
