They joined Chip at the top of the jungle gym. When they were all looking down on the party, Chip pointed his little squirrel finger. "There!" he shouted. A fluffy squirrel was lying on its side with all the other gifts. It wasn't moving. "Why doesn't he run away?" cried Elliot. "Maybe they stepped on him. Maybe he's injured! I don't know!" said Chip. Just then the boy with the red hair and all the freckles picked up the squirrel. "Run away! Run away!" yelled Twitch. But the fluffy squirrel didn't move. "That child must have a grip of steel," said Chip. Then-to everyone's surprise-the squirrel began to speak. The boy was pressing the squirrel's tiny ear. He was making it speak! "Hello!

Mister Nibbles - All the squirrels in the park think Mister Nibbles is neat, but he's a stuffed animal. Says funny things if you pinch his ear. Twitch - Elliot's hyperactive sister who is always going.

Elizabeth Taylor's Nibbles and Me
Author: Elizabeth Taylor
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1442442301
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
In 1946, Elizabeth Taylor -- then fourteen and a major star at MGM -- published a book about her pet chipmunk, Nibbles. With wit, charm, and remarkable skill, she related the adventures and mishaps of her high-spirited friend. She and Nibbles were virtually inseparable during the shooting of National Velvet and other films; in fact the chipmunk almost got to appear in Courage of Lassie -- but he was so well behaved that he didn't look real, and his scene was cut! Recounted here are such stories as the happiest birthday of her life, when she was given King Charles, the horse who was called The Pi in National Velvet, because only Elizabeth could ride him.

Amnesia
Author: Peter Carey
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0385352786
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
The two-time Booker Prize winner now gives us an exceedingly timely, exhilarating novel—at once dark, suspenseful, and seriously funny—that journeys to the place where the cyber underworld collides with international power politics. When Gaby Baillieux releases the Angel Worm into Australia’s prison computer system, hundreds of asylum-seekers walk free. And because the Americans run the prisons (let’s be honest: as they do in so many parts of her country) the doors of some five thousand jails in the United States also open. Is this a mistake, or a declaration of cyber war? And does it have anything to do with the largely forgotten Battle of Brisbane between American and Australian forces in 1942? Or with the CIA-influenced coup in Australia in 1975? Felix Moore, known to himself as “our sole remaining left-wing journalist,” is determined to write Gaby’s biography in order to find the answers—to save her, his own career, and, perhaps, his country. But how to get Gaby—on the run, scared, confused, and angry—to cooperate? Bringing together the world of hackers and radicals with the “special relationship” between the United States and Australia, and Australia and the CIA, Amnesia is a novel that speaks powerfully about the often hidden past—but most urgently about the more and more hidden present.

Christopher Nibble
Author: Charlotte Middleton
Publisher: Oxford University Press - Children
ISBN: 0192738860
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
Christopher Nibble loves munching dandelion leaves. And he's not alone. All the guinea pigs in Dandeville eat dandelion leaves for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But no-one seems to do anything when the dandelions begin to dwindle. They just carry on munching. In fact the guinea pigs of Dandeville are heading for eco-disaster . . . But that's where Christopher Nibble steps in. He discovers the last dandelion growing outside his bedroom window and, rather than eat it, he does his horticultural research in the library and then nurtures the dandelion patiently until it has produced a perfect head of tiny seeds. Then he blows the seeds from a hill high over Dandeville so that each dandelion seedling takes root and grows into a new plant. Charlotte Middleton has illustrated her witty, quirky story with charming collage illustrations and her guinea pigs are the most endearing, funky little characters you are ever likely to meet.

Pages : 57
Book Description
An Invitation to Mystery is about a well-meaning, though somewhat absent-minded, hedgehog named Hedwig. Hedwig and his friends live in Maplewood Hollow, a beautiful wooded valley full of hills and trees with a river winding through it. Hedwig, while trying to give his friend Mr. Beasley a birthday party, runs into all sorts of problems. Not the least of which was that Rufus, the badger, had his feelings hurt and was brought to tears. Charlie, a handsome robin, comes to Hedwig's rescue by teaching him to trust God and pray for the Lord's help in times of trouble. The purpose of writing An Invitation to Mystery is to entertain while helping children process hurt from others as well as their own mistakes that can lead to misunderstandings.
