backwards days, baby wombats, colorful dogs,

families in all forms, and a Three Oaks mystery

"and do you remember what happened before that?"

find out what the baby gets into while 

mom is sleeping!

"bottle caps, gingersnaps, buttons or rings

you can make families from all sorts of things!"

from "making a wish quiet" to "top of the roller coaster quiet"

"Soon the game included Zommy, Lorrol, a boy named Gas,

a drunk, a stranger, and a small town in Michigan -- that is,

if it could still be called a game..."

"The words 'For You' were written on the envelope

in bold letters.  Peeking inside, Fanny caught her breath."

little ones with big worries...

"Amelia wants a dog, needs a dog,

and believes she simply cannot

live with a small brown dog

with a wet pink nose.  Her parents

think she can...."

"Mom said,

'Lucy's just not happy here.

Let's try for one more night.

If Lucy does not settle down,

we'll have to return her

to the pound.'"

Now you MUST find out how this one turns out!!!!

THE FRENCH DOG

"Tous les chiens de France"
