Children's: Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel -- one of my all time favorites.
Classics: Ragtime, which I keep meaning to read, but haven't yet.
Non-Fiction: I don't know the books, but I think his name was Farnsworth
Book Club: Their accents.
Authors: Tales of the City. Jake Heggie wrote Anna Madrigal Remembers. When I first read the first book, in advance of the much advertised miniseries many years ago, I ended up running back out the same day and buying the rest and read them all back to back without stopping.
Book Bag: I don't know, but since it's Jell-O, I'm going to guess Bill Cosby
Philo T. Farnsworth!
Book Club: Their Accents
Authors: Armistead Maupin
Oh, that is so hard, you stumped me on almost all of them. Great post!
Harriet wins the prize for getting every single one right, at least in spirit--she missed the writer's name for Anna Madrigal Remembers, but names another work by the author AND provides the composer's name, so I think she pretty much got it right!
Children's: Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (also a favorite at my house)
Classics: Ragtime (everyone at the local college knows this because of Doctorow's Kenyon connection)
Non-Fiction: Philo Farnsworth
Book Club: their accents (the title is How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents)
Authors: Armistead Maupin
Book Bag: Bill Cosby
