WELCOME TO THE BED AND BISCUIT Published by Candlewick Grampa's family of pets is rubbed the wrong way when a needy little critter arrives in this lighthearted chapter book. Grampa Bender wouldn't be able to run the Bed and Biscuit animal boardinghouse without the help of Ernest the pig, Gabby the mynah bird, and Milly the cat. In fact, the three animals have always thought of themselves as Grampa's family — and they assumed he felt the same way. But when Grampa comes home with a mysterious bundle and stops paying attention to his loyal companions, they start to question his affections. Engaging illustrations by Noah Z. Jones, capturing every endearing trait of this oddball family, complement Joan Carris's humorous, heartwarming book for middle-grade readers. Watch for the sequel, WILD TIMES AT THE BED AND BISCUIT, also from Candlewick Press.

WICKED WATER Wicked Water is the story of one young family during the tragic 1999 hurricane season, when underestimating Nature proved to be a mistake. At home in Kinston, NC, Mom and Dad Lowe should have listened to 8 year-old Paisley and her 11 year-old brother, Davis. Instead they left their pet dogs and cats behind, and went on a trip, only to be stranded in floodwater, far from home. Along comes 10 year-old Mitchell (Mouse) Cooper, a stowaway in the big blue rescue truck from the American Humane Association. What all of these kids do, with the help of the amazing AHA crew, combines in a heart-warming, poignant, and humorous story. Ages 7 and up. | |
