American Folk Tale

[Mary Ellen George <mgeorge@NETRA.CLC.LIB.OH.US>]

Hello LM_Netters:


> A grandmother is interested in reading a folk tale her granddaughter =
told her about.  She  mentioned the title "Rats, Bats, and Black =
Puddings," indicating it was an American folk tale but is not entirely =
sure if it's a tale, play, poem, etc.  We searched "Storyteller's =
Sourcebook" and a number of folklore classics from animal tales to tall =
tales to general tales.  Does this sound familiar to anyone.  Patron =
would be immensely appreciative of getting this information so she can =
let her granddaughter (who lives in New Zealand) know she read the tale =
and keep their email communication full of surprises.  Thanks Everyone!
