We definitely had books around by that publisher, but I don't remember being especially drawn to those volumes in particular. Basically, I read everything I could get my hands on--sounds as though you did too. :-)
The really crazy thing was that the two spaceships were actually the same ship, merging against itself after traveling through a time warp. I think I forgot to mention that part.
Haha! I did too, u. I suspect it's one of those poor words that has suffered from overexposure in recent years, so maybe it doesn't sound so powerful anymore. Or maybe we've just grown old(er).
Were you the author of the story about the spaceships merging?
I used to think merge was a powerful and dramatic word. I remember reading a story aloud to my mom many years ago that involved two spaceships merging.
Mom: "They merged?" Me (tense): "Uh huh. The spaceships MERGED." Mom: "Okay..."
Yes, but what a delightful mistake proto-slumry made! Perhaps you were both. :-)
Reminds me of when I was a kid taking a road trip w/ my parents and countless siblings. I spotted a traffic sign that horrified me. "Dad," I warned, "We need to take a different road! That sign says there's murdering traffic ahead!"
Of course, it was *merging* traffic...but sometimes that's just as scary. ;-)
Young child slumry (who was not yet slumry, of course) came in for supper. She had been playing all afternoon and announced to her father "I am ravishing." Of course she meant ravenous. Oops.
stunningly beautiful.
The problem is that we have to work for a living when we could be reading. ;-)
I did when I was a kid... I wish I could get that habit back now that I'm grown up... *sigh*

Were you a Childcraft fan too?
You know, u, that story is starting to sound a mite familiar....
Whoa. Heavy!

How the hell did two spaceships merge? That still sounds ominous to me!
And yes, I am scared of merging traffic too.
Merging into freeway traffic still feels a bit too powerful to me...That murdering traffic.
I love ravishing/ravaging. "She was a ravaging beauty."
What did I do without Wordie!
No, the story was in one of those Childcraft books World Book publishes. Sort of a silly quasi-educational sci-fi thing.

Funny the inane childhood things we remember.
Also, I've been known to confuse ravishing with ravaging.
