Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the book "Bridge to Terabithia", what is the original "bridge" made out of?

Answer: rope

Some controversy surrounded the book over issues such as death being part of the plot, New Age religion, and offensive language. It came out as a film in 2007.
2. In the book "Where the Wild Things Are", who finds himself in the land where the wild things are?

Answer: Max

As "wild things" for his book, Maurice Sendak drew caricatures of his aunts and uncles. It came out as a film in 2009.
3. Who has the power to make his drawings using a purple crayon real? His name is in the title of a book called "_____________ and the Purple Crayon".

Answer: Harold

This book I read to my sons. The book was written by Crockett Johnson and published in 1955. Purple was always a favorite color at our house because the college I graduated from and two high schools I taught in for over 30 years all featured purple and gold as school colors.
4. This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home. What did the third little piggy have?

Answer: roast beef

I played this game with all my sons and all the grandchildren. Nobody ever seemed to object until one of the granddaughters said to me when she reached age six, "Grandpa, I'm too old for that." The last little piggies (toes) were: "This little piggy had none, and THIS little piggy went "wee wee wee' all the way home."
5. In which of the following US states would one most likely see a statue of Paul Bunyan?

Answer: Minnesota

Although he may have originated in French Canada, statues of Paul Bunyan can be found in Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, California, Oregon, Idaho, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and even on the roof of a Vietnamese restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. However, the giant lumberjack is most often considered a "North Woods" legend.
6. The story of "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" takes place in what country?

Answer: Ireland

That is certainly a young Sean Connery as Michael McBride in this 1959 children's classic film. The movie still gets very good reviews today, as shown by 131 5-star reviews out of 164 total viewer reviews at a popular website for books, music, and movies.
7. Pippi Longstocking lives in what country?

Answer: Sweden

Pippi is the child heroine of several books and movies originating in stories written by Swedish children's writer Astrid Lindgren.
8. Who is the first ghost to appear in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol"?

Answer: Jacob Marley

Ebenezer Scrooge's name is now a term for a miser or skinflint. My 1987 Miriam-Webster says it is usually capitalized, but my internet definition showed it as a common noun. And, of course, Donald Duck's rich uncle is Scrooge McDuck.
9. At what point in "The Wizard of Oz" does the movie change from black-and-white (or, originally, sepia) to color?

Answer: when the house Dorothy was in lands in Oz

Musssorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain" is part of the background music in the movie while Dorothy and the group try to escape the Witch's castle. It is not credited in the soundtrack.
10. Which of the following pairs of Muppets or Sesame Street regulars is the same color?

Answer: Kermit the Frog and Oscar the Grouch

Because most Muppet operators, or "Muppeteers," use their right hand to operate the Muppet's head and mouth and their left hand to operate the Muppet's hand, usually with a rod, Muppets tend to be left-handed.
