Produktbeschreibung

Lisa left the shelter with the little white poodle wrapped in a towel. They lived together and were the best of friends for three years. Their house had a large picture window which looked out on a busy street where she watched cars, people and bicycles go past the window. Bon-A-Me's world turned upside down when they moved from the busy street to a house which clung to a hillside with no street and few windows. She was unhappy there seeing only squirrels and birds, so she ran away leaving Lisa behind. In her search for a new home with a large picture window and a busy street she endured rain, cold, and hunger. Sometimes she thought about Lisa but didn't know how to find her way back - then she remembered the house with few windows. She continued down the street until one day she saw a yellow school bus stop in front of a house with a large picture window. A young boy and girl got on the bus and it drive away. Should she cross the street to get to that house? Could that be her new home?

Autorenporträt

Laura Rilla is a mother who placed her children on her knees and read stories to them until they learned to read. She wrote stories about birds, turtles, and fireflies when they were young, and about sports, when they grew older. All the stories are worth reading. Kelson is a happy young boy who at an early age has accomplished a lot while smiling through it all. At two years old he learned to swing a golf club. He received them as a Christmas present and knew immediately what they were used for. But springtime rolled around with warm, sunny weather and baseball season opened. Being one of the players he learned that baseball is a team sport dependent on each player. In mid-summer the rodeo came to town and he saw youngsters riding a sheep. It is part of the rodeo and is called 'mutton busting'. He suited up and rode a sheep. Then from the stands he watched cowboys on horses and decided maybe he might be a cowboy. Kelson never let a challenge stand in his way. When wrestling matches began, he joined up and learned how to pin an opponent's shoulder to the matt and win medals.
