Joan Carris has
just completed her 20th book and shows no signs of slowing
down. She knows how important reading is, and so she writes
books that will hold kids' attention. Joan writes stories
about real, not perfect, families--and animals of all kinds,
real and magical.
Welcome to the Bed & Biscuit
Grampa Bender wouldn't be able to run the Bed and Biscuit
animal boardinghouse without the help of Ernest the pig,
Gabby the mynah bird, and Milly the cat. In fact, the three
animals have always thought of themselves as Grampa's family
-- and they assumed he felt the same way. But when Grampa
comes home with a mysterious bundle and stops paying attention
to his loyal companions, they start to question his affections.
Engaging illustrations by Noah Z. Jones, capturing every
endearing trait of this oddball family, complement Joan
Carris's humorous, heartwarming book for middle-grade readers.
