“BUGS BUNNY — Fitty Years and Only One Grey Hare
by Joe Adamson
‘Adult non-fiction published by Sammis Publishing Corp.

No other cartoon character has endured quite like the ‘‘wascal-
ly wabbit”. For over 50 years, he’s been delighting audiences’
around the world with his wacky antics and devil-may-care at-
titude.

He’s been welcomed in book stores, record stores, toy stores,
video stores, movie theatres, haberdashers, sports arenas, univer-
sities, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, the Museum of Modern
Art, the Library of Congress, the National Archive, and the
Smithsonian Institute. He’s had his own television show since:

1960 (and been on the air every day without.a break), and has his
own star on Hollywood Boulevard. Pretty good for a smart
alecky rabbit.

_In addition, a 1976 market research of popular reaction to

established media figures, both real and imaginary, revealed that
nobody but Abraham Lincoln tested higher than Bugs Bunny.

This book tells the story of Bugs Bunny, and the people behind
the character, from his humble beginnings in the late 1930’s when
he first appeared in Warners’ cartoons. Included are sixteen of
Bugs’ best cartoons, dozens of frame enlargements, animation
drawings, bits of dialogue, a complete filmography, and over 400
illustrations.

PRETEND YOU'RE A CAT by Jean Marzollo
Juvenile fiction by Dial Books for Young Readers

Wouldn’t it be nice to pretend you were something else, just
for a little while? Can you climb like a cat? Can you purr or
hiss? Or how about a squirrel? Can you chatter, disappear inside
a tree, leap and twirl? Or maybe you can be like a cow and touch
your ear with your tail. Can you moo or drink your: lunch from a
pail?

. Or how about a seal? Can you balance ‘things on your nose,
_ like a ball? Can you bark like a seal? How about a-pig? Are you
pink all over like a pig? Can you root and snort? What else can
. you pretend to be?
This is a very educational book for young children that allows
them to use not only their imagination, but all their senses to the
; fullest. -

The season’s over, but people can carry decorative and warm me

mories with them through this

frigid January. Many Terrace households went all-out in lighting up their homes, and although this
one didn’t win a prize in the Chamber of Gommerce/Northwest Real Estate Board competition, it
must have been among the finalists.
