What is the name of this children's book?
"Miss Nelson is Missing" by Harry Allard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Nelson_Is_Missing!#Miss_Nelson_is_Missing.21 "Miss Nelson is a grade-school teacher whose students constantly take advantage of her nice nature. After an especially rowdy day in Miss Nelson's class, her students discover that she is not coming to school the next day. "Now we can really act up," yells one of the students (Allard, 8). However, before they get the chance to make mischief, a substitute, Miss Viola Swamp, shows up. Swamp is a strict disciplinarian and gives the students significantly more school work than Miss Nelson ever did. The contrast between the two teachers is so great that the students actively go looking for Miss Nelson and make unlikely conjectures about what may have happened to her. The following day, Miss Nelson returns to class and the children rejoice. At the end of the book, it is implied that Miss Viola Swamp was Miss Nelson in disguise."
How do Americans name their children?
There are no rules. Some families have traditional practices.Most Americans have 3 names:First - anything the parents like. Sometimes they use the name of a beloved relative or friend. Some groups will not name children after someone still alive, others will. This government agency tracks baby names, just for fun: Popular Baby Names You can see that some names remain popular, others come and go.Middle - also anything the parents like. It;s not unusual to use the mother’s maiden name, ie, her family name before marriageLast/family - Traditionally this has been the father’s family name. Now, some people used hyphenated family names with both the father’s and mother’s family namesThere is no law that says that you have to have a middle name, or that you can’t have more than 3 names. But some forms will be hard to fill out.If a child gets exactly the same name as his father, the child’s name gets an addition, eg, John Harry Smith, jr jr for Junior. Dad would then become John Harry Smith, Sr (senior). A grandchild might be John Harry Smith III.

Who are Lilith's Children?
Lilith (Hebrew: לילית Līlīt; Arabic: ليليث Līlīṯ) is a female Mesopotamian storm demon associated with wind and was thought to be a bearer of disease, illness, and death. The figure of Lilith first appeared in a class of wind and storm demons or spirits as Lilitu, in Sumer, circa 4000 BC. Many scholars place the origin of the phonetic name "Lilith" at somewhere around 700 BC despite post-dating even to the time of Moses. Lilith appears as a night demon in Jewish lore and as a screech owl in Isaiah 34:14 in the King James version of the Bible. In later folklore, "Lilith" is the name for Adam's first wife. Then there is this tale: http://www.wisegeek.com/who-is-lilith.ht... The story of Lilith that has come to be the most famous is found in The Alphabet of Ben-Sira, an anonymous work in Hebrew and Aramaic written between the 8th and 11th centuries CE. It is The Alphabet of Ben-Sira that tells of Lilith as Adam's first wife. According to that story, she refused to lie beneath Adam during sexual intercourse, and he in turn refused to lie beneath her. Lilith then called upon the name of God, left Eden, and settled on the Red Sea coast, where she consorted with Samael and other demons. Her children by Samael are known as the lilin. Adam asked God to return Lilith to him, and he sent three angels on the task. They were to kill 100 of Lilith's children for each day she failed to return. Instead of returning to Eden, Lilith responded to the threat with one of her own; she vowed to torment the children of Adam and Eve throughout eternity. Thus the children of Lilith are "lilin". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilin According to some stories, they are the daughters of Lilith, Adam's first wife, by the Angel of Death Samael,[citation needed] often identified with Satan. They are demons, with their function being similar to that of a succubus. While men feared them for this reason, mothers feared the attack of the lilin because they were also said to kidnap children, as Lilith herself did. Upon deserting Adam and turning against God, Lilith was warned that one hundred of her demonic children would die daily if she did not return to God. She refused, and so it is said that one hundred lilin die daily. The masculine of lili is lilu, a demon attested in Akkadian mythology. See Lilith for an etymological discussion. L8r
