This reminded me of a third-grader who was doing a report recently. Their teacher had told them they could pick any animal, and many chose types of pets. There was the usual flurry of activity that goes with trying to satisfy 20+ little people in ten minutes or less, and one usually-rough-and-tough little guy kept looking through the dog books for "Pimpled Dogs". My aide and I both repeated it, asking him several times if that was what he meant, and he affirmed it so we assumed it was something akin to a Hairless Terrier or Chinese Crested and looked in What Kind of Dog is That? and the American Kennel Club guide unsuccessfully. I talked with his teacher later in the day, and she said he had come back in tears because we didn't have anything on "Pit Bulls". I'm not quite sure which of us had the communication problem!

After asking several questions to find out which book he was referring and not having any success, I asked if he had checked out this book before. He said, "Oh, yes, you know the Big Goon P.E. Teacher book." It was all I could do to keep a straight face while leading him over to Mike Thaler's Black Lagoon series.
