Baby Happy Baby Sad<\/a>

Every right hand page says…<\/p>\n

Baby HAPPY<\/em><\/p>\n

And on the left it says…<\/p>\n

Baby SAD<\/em><\/p>\n

The story in art, however, changes on each page, so young children will memorize the story and “read” along.

The Cheshire Cheese Cat: A Dickens of a Tale<\/a>
\nby Carmen Agra Deedy (Author), Randall Wright (Author), and Barry Moser (Illustrator)
\n256 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Skilley, an alley cat with an embarrassing secret, longs to escape his street-cat life. Tired of dodging fishwives’ brooms and carriage wheels, he hopes to trade London’s damp alleyways for the warmth of ye olde Cheshire Cheese Inn. He strikes a bargain with Pip, an erudite mouse: Skilley will protect the mice who live at the inn, and in turn, the mice will provide Skilley with the thing he desires most.<\/p>\n

But when Skilley and Pip are drawn into a crisis of monumental proportions involving a tyrannical cook, an unethical barmaid, and a malevolent tomcat, their new friendship is pushed to its limits. The escalating crisis threatens the peace not only of the Cheshire Cheese Inn but also the British Monarchy!<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to Skilley and Pip, however, they have a secret ally: a famous author who scribbles away many an afternoon in ye olde Cheshire Cheese Inn…<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> He was the best of toms. He was the worst of toms.<\/p>\n

Fleet of foot, sleek and solitary, Skilley was a cat among cats. Or he would have been, but for a secret had carried since his early youth. A secret that caused him to live in hidden shame, avoiding even casual friendship lest anyone discover–<\/p>\n
