A Girl Named Zippy

This is another book I read for the Non-Fiction Five Challenge. It was very funny, about a girl growing up in Indiana back in the 70's. She makes me glad I didn't grow up there. Her father seems loving enough and so does her mother, but there is a bit of neglect to some degree. Her mother spends her days on the couch reading (is there anything wrong with that?) and she is left to run around playing with her friends and seeing the strange sights of the people of Moreland. I know she has a sequel called She got up off the Couch or something like that, so I'm going to assume it's about her mother. This book was full of child-like honesty and real humor, it was a good, quick read.
