There''s a new cat in the house outside of the pantry. "I heard Whomp is a WILD cat!" Soccer hears from Tipsy the Spider who heard it from Chatter the ladybug who heard it from Dot the housefly "who saw it with her own seven eyes." When Soccer rushes home to tell his mom, she warns him not believe everything he hears. But when Soccer has to venture out to meet Tipsy for a game of checkers, he doesn''t take any chances. In his suit of armor (a bike helmet, boxing gloves, winter boots, and a wooden sword), Soccer stumbles upon a ball of fur that is anything but "WILD." This adorably illustrated tale from the pantry will entertain children of all ages with the important lesson of being cautious of rumors.

"Once upon a can of spaghetti" begins this tale of a lovable little mouse named Meatball, who learns a big lesson about being brave when she''s afraid. Meatball remembers her mother''s "safety rules against all cats, misguided bats, and bully rats," yet when the mouse finds herself in a scary situation, her mom''s instructions aren''t so easy to follow. In the end, with the help of wise words from her father, Meatball proves herself to be a brave little mouse after all.

With charming illustrations of the mice family''s tiny world, this tale from the pantry will make its way into the hearts of children who have shared the experience of being afraid.

Bullies are always a problem, but not when cooperation takes hold in the mouse world of Tails From the Pantry. Soccer, Meatball, and Stinky all work together to teach Spud a lesson, but forgiveness is the lesson from the Tails team.

Are all strangers nice? Who should Stinky and friends be friendly to? Once again the wisdom of mom and dad teach caution and safety to little learners in this popular series.

Sometimes if we try we can disconnect from tough problems around us, but eventually the network of fractures spreads to our front doors when a husband walks out, a loved-one is arrested, a friend betrays us, a church splits, a job is terminated, a diagnosis is bad, or a financial picture worsens. Suddenly with no place to hide from the reality we realize life is all cracked up. Through the lens of our pain everything seems broken, bruised, and battered. But, as best-selling author Patsy Clairmont points out, there''s a redeemer of our pain--Jesus. The Redeemer of the broken and discarded who mends our hearts, and even gives us a reason to laugh again.

Telling inspirational stories of women''s brokenness and healing, with tenderness and her trademark humor, Patsy Clairmont helps us realize that we''re not alone in our struggles. Jesus buoys our spirits and refreshes our tired minds. As Patsy says, "life is so much easier to bear when its shared.''
