I mentioned Zucchini the movie, which was a half hour program based on the book, maybe a month ago. Also as a child I read the book Zucchini (in fact, I own the book). The worst thing in this book -- the absolute worst -- is that the writer calls ferrets RODENTS! Excuse me, but isn't that what black-footed ferrets EAT?! It's amazing that a publisher would publish this book without checking up on the facts, since children believe what they read. I recommend reading it just to find out what people used to think of ferrets (after all, it WAS written in the 80s). -- To join Pepita's mailing list, send an e-mail to [log in to unmask] saying SUBSCRIBE.
