Mr. Tanner

by Harry Chapin

Mr. Tanner runs a dry cleaning shop in Dayton, Ohio, where he spends his days greeting his customers with his beautiful baritone voice. His friends and neighbors encourage him to sing professionally instead of cleaning clothes. He eventually takes a chance and travels to New York City to be heard by a concert agent and critics, only to find they weren't hearing what he was feeling. The song Mr. Tanner was released in 1973 off Harry Chapin's Short Stories album. The song was inspired by a mediocre review about a baritone singer in The New York Times. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to help support WhyHunger, a charity championed by Harry Chapin himself.

Mr. Thundermug: A Novel

by Cornelius Medvei

Mr. Thundermug is the inventive, entertaining, and—against all odds—poignant story of an animal who acquires the ability to eloquently speak human language.

It's a world in which Mr. Thundermug and his family take up occupancy in an abandoned apartment building. On the roof of that building, Mr. Thundermug gazes at the heavens and thinks deep thoughts while his wife picks bugs off him and eats them. Understandably, he's somewhat confused by his complex existence as a fluent member of human society who has the essential nature of a more ancient species, but he assimilates as best he can. His worlds inevitably collide, and he is eventually brought to court for a petty crime and asked to defend himself in impossible ways.Simultaneously playful and foreboding, Mr. Thundermug announces the arrival of a bold and imaginative talent.

Mr. and Mrs. Pig's Evening Out

by Mary Rayner

"Now piglets," Mrs Pig said, "your father and I are going out this evening." There was a chorus of groans. "Not far," said Mrs Pig, "and I've asked a very nice lady to come and look after you." "What's her name ?" asked William Pig. "I don't like babysitters," said Benjamin. "Oh," said Mrs Pig, looking vague, "well, she's coming from the agency, so I'm not sure what her name is, but you're sure to like her." "We didn't like the last one from the agency," grumbled Garth. From this familiar scene stems an hilarious tale, for the babysitter was not what she seemed to be, and it took the quick wits and resourcefulness of the ten brave piglets to avert the unforeseen and dreadful consequences of their parents' night out. Of all the stories that Mary Rayner has told to her own children and their friends, this one has always been top favourite. Other books about the Pig family are available from Bookshare.
