Winkie and Tip, who is really Winkie’s cousin, live with Father Len and Mother Lyn on Smoke Mountain, along with the other Hill Tinies—or used to until Mother Lyn and Father Len take them with them on a trading trip, riding on a tame black crow, whose name is Sable. Mother Lyn and Father Len leave the children with Sable while they went to try to find the entrance to Trash City, where they plan to trade. While they’re gone, mice attack and Sable tries to defend the children. Then the mice make an exit, as a yellow cat appears on the scene—and attacks Sable! The two fighters go out of sight and a group of Trash Tiny soldiers find the two children and take them back with them to Trash City. When Father Len and Mother Lyn arrive, the children are gone!
This Little book is probably one of my favorites of the series about the Littles, starting with The Littles. The Littles and the Lost Children doesn’t have very much of the Littles, but I still like it. Enjoy!

Mr. Little, Mrs. Little, Granny Little, Uncle Pete, Lucy, and Tom live in the walls of a house owned by George W. Bigg. Mr. Little is the tallest, and he is only about six inches high! All the Littles have tails, which they are proud of. One day, Mr. and Mrs. Newcomb rent the Biggs’ house and don’t houseclean or fix damages. Soon the Littles fear that mice will come, as there are a lot of crumbs. And sure enough, they do. The Littles hope the Newcombs will set up mousetraps—but they’re in for a surprise!
This book is the first of the Littles series. It’s pretty good, in my opinion.

Chester Cricket finds himself stranded in New York, after falling asleep in someone’s picnic basket out in the Old Meadow. Lost and alone, he stays hidden under a newspaper near the station until a boy named Mario finds him and promptly adopts him as a pet. Mario’s family owns a newspaper stand, and the business is poor, but maybe Chester’s musical talent can help bring in more customers. As well as helping Mario’s family, the cricket has time for being with his new friends in New York: Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse, who live in the nearby drainpipe.
Though not one of my all-time favorites, this book is good now and then for a quick, fun read. Harry and Tucker add a lot to the story, with their personalities.
