For no real reason other than to have this stop bothering my brain I am looking for a sci-fi children’s book that I do not remember the title of.
It features a group of children escaping from truancy enforcement robots I’m pretty sure they called “Snoopy Droops”, and contains the refrain “Snoopy Droops, Snoopy Droops can’t catch us ‘cause we got away on the 63 bus”.
I would have read this as a kid in New Zealand in around 1987/88, and I’m pretty sure it had a yellow cover, but this as all details above may be partially the hallucinations of childhood memory.
Does anyone have any idea what book I remember? Maybe it wasn’t a book but just part of some reader or in a compilation? Google has nothing, LLaMA doesn’t know, ChatGPT is just full of shit (wow, surprise, lol).
It seems to be just old and obscure enough that it hasn’t been indexed. That or I have made it up entirely (not impossible but doubtful as my writing generally does not include catchy jingles).
