Book Description
Toys go missing, of course, in a house with six children. It’s as natural as apple pie and ice-cream. It’s a different matter when they start appearing. When beautiful old toy soldiers—just like the ones in the antique shop down the road—start popping up on Mary Frances’ bedroom window-sill, her search for clues to the curious figures leads her to a wider mystery. Things aren’t where they should be. Or, perhaps, they aren’t when they should be. Either way, Mary Frances and her sister Annie are going to need all the help they can get to solve the mystery. That help comes to them unexpectedly in the form of Thunderpaws, a mysterious orange cat with remarkable abilities. With Thunderpaws guiding them, Mary Frances and Annie learn to slip into the space between the lightning and the thunder and emerge into a place that looks a lot like home. Here, too, there are things going missing and other things appearing that don’t belong, and a wandering man who might hold the key to the whole affair. The girls meet young boys Evan and Johnathan (who live in a suspiciously familiar-looking farmhouse), and the four children must band together with an elusive group of time-travelling orange cats to put everything back when it belongs.

Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Experience the uplifting, "unforgettable" New York Times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named Dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world -- with over 2 million copies sold! (Booklist) Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history.

The Cat's Meow
Author: Jonathan B. Losos
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1984878700
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
The past, present, and future of the world's most popular and beloved pet, from a leading evolutionary biologist and great cat lover. "Engaging and wide-ranging ... The Cat's Meow is a readable and informed exploration of the wildcat that lurks within Fluffy." —The Washington Post The domestic cat—your cat—has, from its evolutionary origins in Africa, been transformed in comparatively little time into one of the most successful and diverse species on the planet. Jonathan Losos, writing as both a scientist and a cat lover, explores how researchers today are unraveling the secrets of the cat, past and present, using all the tools of modern technology, from GPS tracking (you’d be amazed where those backyard cats roam) and genomics (what is your so-called Siamese cat . . . really?) to forensic archaeology. In addition to solving the mysteries of your cat's past, it gives us a cat's-eye view of today's habitats, including meeting wild cousins around the world whose habits your sweet house cat sometimes eerily parallels. Do lions and tigers meow? If not, why not? Why does my cat leave a dead mouse at my feet (or on my pillow)? Is a pet ocelot a bad idea? When and why did the cat make its real leap off the African plain? What’s with all those cats in Egyptian hieroglyphics? In a genial voice, casually deciphering complex science and history with many examples from his own research and multi-cat household, Losos explores how selection, both natural and artificial, over the last several millennia has shaped the contemporary cat, with new breeds vastly different in anatomy and behavior from their ancestral stock. Yet the cat, ever a predator, still seems only one paw out of the wild, and readily reverts to its feral ways as it occupies new lands around the world. Humans are transforming cats, and they in turn are transforming the world around them. This charming and intelligent book suggests what the future may hold for both Felis catus and Homo sapiens.

Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Good Guys Dont Wear Bells transports the reader to a realm of human insight punctuated by the unexpected arrival of a new and very different family member. This member, Russell, a cat, proves to be an influence for change and understanding. Spread across three distinctly different venues, Russells life experiences begin with his mistakenly being locked in a closed rental house on Nantucket Island only to be rescued by the new occupants who are destined to be his future family. From there his adventures are transferred to the long-since vacated backyards of downtown Detroit and the urban-renewed courtyards of the townhouses replacing them. Here he overcame numerous adversities and misadventures. His later life was spent in the Middle Eastern country of Qatar where he reigned supreme in his last conquest, a small backyard garden. Here he was united with a recent addition to the family, a Siamese queen named Starlight who had been added while he was wintering in Nantucket. This union was to blossom into a lasting love affair. In the years spent with his new family, he assumed the responsibility of their conversion from dog people as he molded them into cat lovers. This task he accomplished readily and with little fanfare as his human family worked and played. Accompanying this conversion his familys feline associations dramatically increased, the result of the rescue of a multitude of cats rendered homeless by the first Arabian Gulf War. Even with this and the ever-present Starlight, Russell remained the star. A moving story of love and pathos, Good Guys Dont Wear Bells will captivate its readers and bring them to a true understanding of feline-human bonding.
