Bugler1998 - I could be wrong but I think the time was based on East Coast time so that it was not too late for East Coasters and Central Timers to 'play.'

Forest-pine - Your answer for 837 is more exact than what I had. The answer I had did saye 12 poems for the first edition; however for the final edition it stated "around 400 poems".

Forest-pine - To make it even more confusing, I mis-quoted the number you first gave! The difference in the two websites you found may account for why the one that I found just rounded it off to "around 400".

Following the Little Red-Cap story from Grimm's Fairy Tales, the book shows the heroine taking food and wine to her grandmother.

A FL school looked into banning the book due to the wolf being to scary but the ban was not carried out.
