Summary: Warning - this isn't the book that I wrote a summary onbelow
Comment: I found out that the book that most of us recall from our youth is actually called: "The Hodgepodge Book - an almanac of American folklore" and was written by Duncan Emrich. It was published by Four Winds Press and copywrited in 1972. Good luck in your searches.

Summary: Not what we're looking for?
Comment: Evidently this book isn't my favorite childhood reading. However, I still remember why fire engines are red (there are 12 inches in a ruler. Queen Elizabeth is a ruler. Queen Elizabeth is a ship on the ocen. Little fishes swim in the ocean. Little fishes have fins. The Finns fought the Russians. The Russians are called Reds. Fire engines are always rushin')

Summary: WARNING--THIS IS NOT THE TITLE YOU ARE THINKING OF....
Comment: I too recall a wonderful hodgepodge book from my childhood filled with rhymes and folklore, but the this is NOT the same book! Mr. Bryan has written a book of hodgepodge for adults. It was published in 1986 and contains many wry observations from boring adults for boring adults. Half of which are not attributed to anyone in particular and leaves this reader wondering how much was invented by Mr. Bryan.
