A place to throw baskets anytime he wants. Nope, his father says. Bruce was quite amazed when he saw the high-bounce balls the man was selling. He was so amazed he just HAD to buy one, and could hardly wait to get home to try it out. Wonderfully illustrated by Linda Trucchi, whose sense of humor adds a further dimension to the story.
Goats are cute.
So are twins. They did not want to leave the farm, and they bring their territorial instincts along with them to the city. A simple story set in the area of high-rise apartments at the poorer end of any city anywhere. Brilliantly illustrated by Paul Rasche, who gives the characters such personalities that we can expect to see these kids and this cop again in further stories. Children will remember this story and these pictures.
