...LAST LITTLE DRAGON, by Roger Price, illustrated by Mamoru Funai (Harper & Row; $3.50). A modern Just So Story about a little dragon with "a long spiked tail and 212 teeth" who, alas, couldn't breathe fire so the old sea turtle fixed that with some hot peppers, coal and oil, but then Algon burnt up everything around the house, so once again the old sea turtle, etc., etc., and that, oh best beloved, is how the first alligator was born...
...Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL). Although a thick coat of clinging dust prevented immediate detailed observation, geologists could see that several of the rocks were igneous-formed out of molten material like lava. They were also of a lighter hue than the brownish gray Apollo 11 rocks from the Sea of Tranquility-and much larger. The biggest of these "grapefruits," as Conrad had called them, weighed as much as four pounds and were about six inches long and five inches wide.

During their five-day cruise to Honolulu, the astronauts began debriefings, ate a Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner and staged a traditional Navy "pollywog" ceremony for Astronaut Richard Gordon, who had never before crossed the equator at sea.

...Blues" or "Helter Skelter," the result here as there does not prove durable. Led Zeppelin's only ostensible love song. "Thank You," is quite frustrating. Page assumes a twelve-string and Plant emulsifies his voice for such less than breathtaking lyrics as "If mountains should crumble into the sea/ There would still be you and me," and "Inspiration is what you are to me." But the inspiration is unfortunately bathetic, and the sanguine ending is a bit too Panglossian. "Thank You" does provide a needed contrast to the previous songs, amatory alacrity and citrous jeu d'chair, but its flawed...
