FOR HORROR WEEK--Did You Know?

Oh, what fun! Fabulous fun illustrations brightly assist the imagination as the venerable tale of The Three Little Pigs has a big bad dinosaur looking for dinner. A very modern ending left me laughing. |

“Nozy Cat lifted one sleepy eyelid, and his marble blue eye glared at her for interrupting his sacred nap. He wore a yellow collar with little red stars printed on it. His second eyelid also opened, and he gave them his irritated blue-eyed glare.”

“Quote is taken from Chapter 1:
A decade ago when Isabel’s husband Max had died, they’d moved in together and merged their possessions.

Her suggestion to slipcover it in a more subdued color had garnered Isabel’s frosty stare, and Alma had dropped the matter.”
