  • Dan's Pants: The Adventures of Dan, the Fabric Man

    Merle Good

    Hardcover (Good Books, Aug. 25, 2000)
    Dan's got more than 30 pairs of funny pants in his closet. Every day is dress-up day for Dan! Everyone loves when he shows up in town. When Dan goes out, bees follow him, dogs go wild, traffic backs up, and his customers like to (discreetly!) feel the fabric. Dan's a tall guy. And he covers those mile-high legs of his with the wildest pants you've ever seen. Every week, Dan sells bolts of fabric to fabric stores, dragging suitcases full of samples from one buyer to the next. Every season, Dan's wife Fran makes him a pair of pants from his favorite of the new bright, bold fabric he sells. Inspired by actual experiences.

  • Reuben and the Quilt

    Merle Good

    Paperback (Good Books, June 25, 2002)
    Reuben was ducking strawberries in the truckpatch when his dad got the idea about making a quilt. The whole family would help (even Sadie, who threw the plump red berries). They would make it as beautiful as possible. Then they would sell it at the auction to raise money for an operation needed by their neighbor on the next farm. But the colorful Log Cabin quilt disappears before they have a chance to give it away. This hearty Amish family faces a new adventure! Moss and Good's new collaboration is as rich and lively as their two highly successful earlier books -- Reuben and the Fire and Reuben and the Blizzard.
