Does anyone out there know a book with a character called Princess =
Sunshine, or Queen Sunshine, or Mrs. Sunshine? A friend
is looking =
for it for her mother, who copied some of the very colorful =
illustrations from a library book onto a cabinet around 1962. I have =
checked A to Z and the Fairy Tale Index under many likely titles such as =
Prince Sun and Princess Moon, the Sun Princess, etc., but no luck. If =
anyone has a clue -- even the remotest hint of -- what it might be, I =
would appreciate your e-mailing me at kheylman@apk.net.
I have copies =
of the illustrations in jpeg and could send them. Many thanks!

Greetings, PUBYACers!
It has been some time since I've been a children's librarian & subscribed to
PUBYAC, but I have a feeling that you all might be able to help me with a
question.
I have a Curious George toy on my desk from a Wendy's kids meal, and
yesterday one of my coworkers asked me what happened to his tail. He's a
monkey, right? So where's his tail? Or is he a small chimp? I'm pretty sure
he's a monkey . . .
I have no ready access to standard Children's reference sources at the
moment, so I turned to the web, and found http://www.curiousgeorge.com/,
and
the online exhibit by Boston Public Library linked to there. Curiously
enough, there is a page from the 50's (when George's name was Zozo) where
his tail is quite clearly intact
http://www.curiousgeorge.com/exhibit/zozostrip.html
What's up with that? Did George have an accident?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Please respond to me DIRECTLY at jjames@lva.lib.va.us,
and I'll summarize to
the list if this mystery can be solved.
Thanks!
Julie
