Three Cats and Faerie

Cats are always listening, which is rather the trouble.Faerie did not set out to have three cats. She didn't want even one. She is a dog person-which is something you are allowed to be even when living with three cats.In a creaky old house, beside a climbing rose that cannot decide whether to eat the house or give it an enormous hug, there live Todd, who is fourteen, a gentleman and dresses the part; Kevin, who is enormous and beautiful and has never met a box he didn't like; and Richard, who is the smallest, the sweetest, and the one who is always exploring.Across seven illustrated stories, three bells are bought for the wrong cat, a kitten crosses several states by air, a monograph is written on the box, and a guest arrives who leaves a mark.These are bedtime stories, written to be read aloud, one an evening. Children will find them funny. Grown-ups may notice something quieter underneath and want a moment to themselves before turning out the light.
