Hello all,
I've just been handed a third hand request for information about an
author named James A. Braden who wrote westerns for children in the early
20th century. This is all I know about him and the two staff members,
audlt
refernce and children's who worked on the questions are out today. I am
assuming Reference checked the internet and the children's staff member
says she looked through Something about the author and Junior Authors and
Illustrators and the other author reference books we have without success
anyone know anything about him?
Thanks,
Julie Rines

I hope some of you wonderful stumper gurus will be able to answer two
stumpers for me. The first is a book a mother recalls from her
childhood about a boy who gets a fish and keeps him in a cup. As the
fish gets bigger, he transfers it to a bowl and to bigger and bigger
homes.
[Moderator: This one of course is Helen Palmer's Fish Out of Water, which
is the
most often requested Easy Reader stumper on PUBYAC. --Shannon]
The second is a little girl who read a story about a girl who
drew on the wall with markers then on her dad with a permanent marker.
Please reply directly to me. Thanks in advance.
