Written for kids - ages 9-12 - with a centerfold of pictures - it is funny, charming, and tells how Abbi, the small poodle, brings a world of love to all three. Elizabeth Cooke was for 30 years a member of the board of directors of The Bide-A-Wee Home in New York, a no-kill animal shelter complex, with facilities in the city and on Long Island.

It is so humbling to have the opportunity to help guide your grand children in the way God intends them to go. To share their joys and sorrows as you laugh and literally cry with them. To know that a grand parent will take given moments and make sacrifices to help them to become stronger, wiser and to make life easier and more enjoyable, as they grow into adulthood.Always praying that these moments will be handed down from one generation to the next as they grow in knowledge of God’s love for them and as they grow in love with Him.Elizabeth R.

Excerpt from Christopher and ColumbusThe gulls, circling white against the gloomy sky over the rubbish that floated on the Mersey, made them feel extraordinarily forlorn. Empty boxes, bits of straw, orange-peel, a variety of dismal dirtiness lay about on the sullen water; England was slipping away, England, their mother's country, the country of their dreams ever since they could remember - and the St. Luke with a loud screech had suddenly stopped.Neither of them could help jumping a little at that and getting an inch closer together beneath the rug. Surely it wasn't a submarine already?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
