"The animals' antics and lively dialogue are consistently entertaining
while the denouement is too cleverly appropriate and too funny to reveal here."
-KIRKUS REVIEWS
Fast Eddie is a charismatic raccoon artist living in suburbia. He knocks over the Plotkins’ barrels, drags chicken parts, plastic bags and ice cream containers onto the driveway and builds sculptures. His art is a protest and payback, because humans are ruining his world. Puff, the Plotkins’ cautious cat is Eddie’s love interest and “eyes on the inside.”The battle escalates. Will Puff be loyal to her family or a wild animal? Only Sammy, age 8, suspects the unique relationship. (And there’s a sequel….)
"You are never alone with a bear." -MICHAEL BOND, AUTHOR OF PADDINGTON
Famous Bears and Friends was inspired by a true story. In 1993, 30,000 teddy bears in matching sweaters washed up on the beaches of Rhode Island. The local newspaper reported, “Teddy Bear Invasion!” This book is a compilation of teddy bear stories and poems to celebrate the bear’s 100th birthday. There’s a robotic teddy bear, a Titanic bear and one who flew through space. Pooh, Paddington and Corduroy are there too.

"You want a boat for what? You're crazy! Those dolphins are long gone.
And they're just dolphins!"
Eight Dolphins of Katrina In 2005, Hurricane Katrina slammed into Gulfport, Mississippi. A tidal wave washed over the Marine Life Oceanarium crushing the Dolphin House. When the trainers returned, the dolphins were gone. Had the wave carried them into the enormous Gulf of Mexico? The dolphins had grown up in captivity, so they didn’t know how to feed or protect themselves. The trainers were determined to find them. Photographs of the event and other stories about dolphins rescuing people are in the back of the book. (Also available in paperback)
