I was surprised to hear Ms. Kathleen, the librarian on KDHX's "Musical Merry-Go-Round" with Grandfather Stark, read on the air, "Be careful you don't catch rabies and die." Quite an unusual sentence to hear out of context...If I heard correctly, it was a father's advice to his son, who was searching for bats in Daniel and Jill Pinkwater's Looking For Bobowicz.
If the goal of the book's excerpt was to make listeners think, "What's going on here? I want to read the rest of this story," then mission accomplished, I suspect.
