PatchesWhen a fun-loving family swaps mountain woods for a cozy city street, they think they’ve planned for everything—until a calico cat slips into their lives determined to steal far more than socks. With no pets allowed, Mom and Dad forbid feeding any strays, but Patches won’t take “no” for an answer. This remake of Joel's 1st book is better than the 1st!
First come the mismatched socks—red, brown, navy—then a silky pair of pantyhose that leaves the whole neighborhood wondering, “Where did that come from?” Each mysterious “gift” brings equal parts delight and exasperation. When the family finally gives Patches a lesson in right and wrong, will her clever capers earn her a place by the hearth…or send her back to the street?
Can a joyful little dog teach children the beauty of kindness, patience, and God's love? Absolutely!In “Scout’s Big Adventure” By Dr John Chanaca, young readers (ages 4–8) will join Scout, a spirited Boykin Spaniel, and her best friends Ben and Emma on a heartwarming journey through the parks of Conway, South Carolina. Along the way, Scout learns to trade her natural instincts for acts of gentleness, kindness, and faith—showing children how God's love transforms our hearts.
