Thank you!  I did investigate further last night and realized I was 
probably wrong.  I was going to ask about how it was pronounced on 
the tapes, but I noticed this morning that was already answered.  I 
will also check out the Scholastic website, that could help me with 
some other pronouncations I am now doubting!  :)
