Dubber the dog is worried. People from the Town Council are coming to his owner’s cabin and saying things like, “unsightly” and “undignified.” The cabin may be torn down! A mockingbird named Ashley with a beautiful voice comes and becomes friends with Chester. The animals of the Old Meadow, along with Ashley, must work together to try and save the cabin!
There are some bad words in this book, but it’s still pretty good. Walter Watersnake is back in this bookâalong with his fun personality.

When Harry Cat shows up at the drainpipe with a forlorn and bedraggled little puppy, Tucker Mouse flatly refuses to let him stay. But, of course, the puppy (“Huppy”) soon joins them as part of the family. Keeping him presents many challenges, such as feeding him, bathing him, and training him. And when Huppy grows so big that he can no longer fit in the drainpipe serving as their home, they decide that it’s time to find Huppy a home with humans, becoming their greatest challenge yet.
I enjoy the Cricket in Times Square books very much, and I think this is one of my favorites. Tucker is his funny, grumbling self, while Harry patiently deals with situations while trying to calm Tucker down. This is a book that children of all ages can enjoy.

Fairly short fantasy stories with animals by Rudyard Kipling.
I like this book. I enjoyed listening to Just So Stories on tape, narrated by Flo Gibson. However, I don’t think Amazon has the recording, but maybe you can get it at your library. Or you could just read the book and then you could see the illustrations!
