But where have the Grinch, or the Cat in the Hat gone, now that graduation from Dr. Seuss to James Joyce is complete. Even the Wild Things have seemed to disappear. Do the Wild Things still go where they did during childhood? You can find out at the Children's Hour Bookstore, 928 E. 900 South, which deals exclusively with children's books and related items. From the first moment, even before entering the store, visitors are inundated by books. The front window is filled with books. Upon entrance, you see them everywhere. In the middle of the floor are two large, wooden frames, almost like elementary schools climbing frames. One displays a selection of books for Halloween, and on and stuffed anithe other, mals. Surrounding these displays, lining all the walls are books thousands of books. There are the classic children's books, where you can rediscover Curious George or the hungry caterpillar, or any other book that brings back fond memories. There are books for young adults, like John Fitzgerald's The Great Brain, or Lucy Maude Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables. There are books for learning and for fun, books about death and books for newborns.

She feels that the new books are what sets her store apart from the competition. "When we first opened, there was one other children's bookstore, and they had a very different viewpoint of marketing. They didn't carry very many new things they carried mostly classics, and they've gone out of business.' There have been two other children stores that have opened and closed since we've been open," Etherington said. A whole wall is covered by new releasesAlthough the variety seems limitless, these are only a few of the books available, according to Etherington.

Pattis, who is also involved in the association's behind-the-scene- jack-hammer- But stop making those placards demanding work, referred to it as Etherington goes to market twice a year and reads all the picture books, and then she chooses the best ones for her store. Etherington previews everything before she makes any purchases.

"I would not feel good about selling a mediocre book to someone when there are 7,000 children's books published every year. I only want to have the top 1,000, or the top 700. I don't want to fool around." As a result of her commitment to quality, Etherington says that there is a book to suit everyone's tastes, even university students.

Plans call for Brigham to reside in the crosswalk between Temple Square and the former Hotel Utah (the present Joseph Smith Memorial Building). However, besides ruining the classic lyric ("There stands like a bird on a perch and his back to the church), the move of Brigham Young's statue has great metaphorical and philosophical implications.
