Chappie's Tale
Author: Lauren Persons
Publisher: Loving Healing Press
ISBN: 161599842X
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 46
Book Description
Amidst a world that seems to grow more and more divisive, there is nothing like having a pet. A dog, cat or, yes, even a ferret, provides unconditional love, laughs and distraction. While taking on a pet requires patience, care and time, the return on investment is well worth it. While Chappie the ferret was a master thief and hoarder who tried my patience at every turn, he did what pets do best: to "weasel" into my life and remind me what is most important-to take the time to laugh and love and appreciate the little things (once you find them!). --Lauren Persons "I love this story. I am like Chappie. I hide things to be 'funny.' Read it to me again!" --Jack Willard, age 4 "Chappie's Tale: The Real Story of our Funny Ferret is a delightful read. It is a "real" tale of how frustrating critters and young children can be while stealing our hearts. Grab one of the young people in your life and read it together. I promise, you will both be chuckling." --Margaret Hill-Daniels, mom, grandmother and experienced child therapist "It's a really good book. Chappie is funny, and he was just doing his job--stealing things!" --Avery Winchell, age 10, Syracuse NY From Loving Healing Pres
