Ah, yes. "Remember Patience Whipple." This little book inspired seven-year-old-me to keep a diary until my patience ran thin and it got buried under other junk in my bedside drawer (I still have it). I called it "Mem" and also forced my little sister to play Pilgrim Ship Pretend with me for a month.
