I have been searching for any information on this book, including the title, off and on for years. I have not known anyone else who has read the book - I imagine I read it in the 70's but can't remember exactly when. My recollections are fuzzy too. I mostly remember the dolphin's name and that the boy used a rebreather-type diving helmet/full mask. Thank you again for sharing the information!!Lisa W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10749396559003452722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013004.post-26084601147742887032009-07-19T21:37:50.938-05:002009-07-19T21:37:50.938-05:00I just read Mystery of the Green Cat to my kids, b...I just read <i>Mystery of the Green Cat</i> to my kids, based on the same sort of fuzzy recollection you had - it is fun to revisit these old favorites. I adored the 3 Investigators during that time period as well! I'm glad to hear that <i>The Enormous Egg</i> held up when you reread it. I'll have to revisit that one some time soon!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013004.post-25221056831985711782009-02-24T21:55:00.000-06:002009-02-24T21:55:00.000-06:00The Enormous Egg is one thing but I thought I was ...<I>The Enormous Egg</I> is one thing but I thought I was the only one on earth who remembered <I>Mystery of the Green Cat</I>. <BR/><BR/>Throw in some Scott Corbett and it's a full-on retro meal.

Some hold up great. And some the kids begin to get distracted.<BR/>Truly though, I think much of it is we as humans have totally changed in what we expect and are satisfied with.<BR/>This doesn't solve a missing character arc, but it does explain slower beginnings, less action, scenes divergent from plot.<BR/>Anyway...PJ Hooverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602205868934777662noreply@blogger.com
