Subject: fabulous book
this is a charming rendition of this classic poem. Interestingly the cat is the male and the owl is the female at the end of the story, and is ambiguous in the beginning.
This was the Christmas book for 2006 from the Internet Archive, so we have some printed versions if people really want one (donations encouraged).

Subject: getting this book to work with the OLPC
This is an example web page to show off reading a book on the OLPC.
This web page (http://www.archive.org/download/owlandpussycat00leariala/olpc/olpc_book.html)
contains a rotate version of this book that after loaded can be paged through using the up and down arrows.
To use the rocker switch I had to put the following in /etc/init.d/olpc-configure
"setkeycodes 67 38 68 40 66 47 65 39"
Enjoy....
