"Legend of the Friendship Cats" is a rollicking adventure story only cats could have lived. It is full of surprises. What's more, it's a legend nearly every cat knows and loves, a favorite story that's continually told and retold whenever cats get together. Mother cats frequently tell this legend to their kittens even before they are weaned. But this amazing story, a deeply cherished part of cats' oral traditions, has never been written down--until now. Novelist Walter Browder was a poet, philosopher, and dreamweaver with a unique gift. Not only could he talk to cats, but he insisted cats could talk back to him. He always claimed his two cats, Mr. Cat and Kizzy, were telling him this story, and that's why it was taking him so long to write it. He explained that cats love to dawdle over a good story and when they begin to tell this particular legend, which is part of their most ancient traditions, they refuse to be rushed. His wife Sue Ellen did not believe him for a minute, of course. She thought he was just pretending to work on a book to get out of mowing the lawn. Really, who could believe such a tale?But one evening, after her beloved husband had departed from this earth, Sue Ellen was sitting at home alone in her log cabin before a crackling log fire when her own cat (who was purring softly in her lap) looked up at her and began to tell her the same story!To say she was astounded is putting it mildly. She was so flabbergasted she could not even speak. It was at that moment she realized Walter had been telling her the truth all along. This truly is a story that all cats know and love to tell!The next morning she went out into the garage, dug Walter's unpublished manuscript out of three dusty, old cardboard boxes, and began to pull all the pieces of the tale together.You are now about to read what Mr. Cat fondly called, "the greatest story ever told about the greatest friends there ever were"--"The Legend of the Friendship Cats." If it pleases you, you may want to read this book aloud to your favorite felines. For cats can never get enough of this story, and no matter how many times they've heard it, they love listening to it again and again.

101 Secrets A Cool Mom Knows

As a mother today, you're as likely as any dad to teach your kids how to pitch a tent, kick a soccer ball, or fix a broken bicycle chain. In a word, you're what your kids call "cool." But with your 24/7 schedule, you can always use extra help. That's why this book was written - to give you (or any dad, grandmother, or grandfather) more "Cool Mom secrets" to pass along to the next generation.
Cool Mom secrets are solutions that work. They go straight to the heart of whatever problem a child might encounter to solve it quickly and effectively, no nonsense, no fuss. And at the same time the child is learning a handy new skill, he or she is also learning a deeper life lesson about perseverence, patience, honesty, or courage.
Using Cool Mom secrets, you can teach a child...
<ul>
<li>How to Use Chopsticks</li>
<li>How to Throw a Spiral Pass</li>
<li>How to See Better in the Dark</li>
<li>How to "Catch" a Falling Star</li>
<li>How to Spin a Basketball on One Finger</li>
<li>How to Make the World's Best Caramel Corn</li>
<li>How to Cruise on a Skateboard</li>
<li>How to Identify a Poisonous Spider</li>
<li>How to Hang a Spoon on Your Nose</li>
<li>How to Crack an Egg with One Hand</li>
<li>How to Weigh a Cloud</li>
</ul>...and 90 other ageless, practical lessons. Years later, whenever your child uses any of these skills, he or she will proudly say, "My mom taught me that."Now, is that cool, or what?
