I'll have to check out the other titles you mentioned. Pat: I thought you ALWAYS had a bib at crossword tournaments… :)

But Remy Charlip is a geeeeenius. <i>Arm in Arm</i> was a terrific introduction to wordplay (I still have the original hardcover chewed up by our dog in the '70s) and has the same sort of watercolor artwork as your book, and <i>Mother, Mother, I Feel Sick, Send for the Doctor Quick, Quick, Quick</i> was also much loved (I have a new hardcover of this one).
