Lines: 17 From: Anne Marie Quint {/amqueue}Can anyone identify the titles or author of a series of children's books about three siblings, two male and one female, of whom the older boy is named Malcolm, and the younger, Theodore, is known as "The Toad". The kids have a dowager mentor, Mrs. Dextrose-Chesapeake, and a male tortoise-shell cat, coveted by Mrs. D-C due to its genetic impossibility. The Toad engages in such unsavory activities as writing semi-obscene filks to "Good King Wenceslaus" and practicing home voodoo with a kit ordered through a comic book ad (the kit works). have fun /amqueue -------
