Pooch Cafe: All Dogs Naturally Know How to Swim
by Paul GilliganPooch Cafe‚ is creator Paul Gilligan's first syndicated strip, and this book collects the strips from its successful first year of syndication. When Poncho's beloved master Chazz marries cat lover Carmen and forces them to move in with her and her feline brood, Poncho's world is shaken to the core. Carmen's attempts to bribe Poncho with cheese cannot overcome his inexplicable but undeniable disdain for all things cat, and now that his home has become a haven for them, his only recourse is to seek refuge in the cafe, where he, Boomer, and his other canine pals pore over their top-secret plans to construct a giant catapult with which to hurl all the Earth's cats into the sun. As much as he dislikes kitties, he's equally passionate about his love for Chazz. Poncho will do just about anything to keep his position as man's best friend secure, including enduring the physical torments of Chazz's passion for biking, camping, and mountain climbing, which he can only get through with the help of classic Russian literature and a nice cup of tea. Pooch Cafe‚ captures the intensity of the human-dog bond in a way that will resonate with pet lovers everywhere.

Poor Angus
by Robin Jenkins&“A blackly comic romp&” of art, ambition, and sexual politics in the Scottish Isles: &“a remarkable novel…written with the lightest of touches&” (The Sunday Times, UK). Struggling painter Angus McAllister has returned to the idyllic Hebridean island of his birth in the hope that it will inspire him to create his masterpiece. But soon, his privacy is invaded by Janet, a visitor with relatives on the island, who has decided that an affair with an artist would be the simplest way to incense and recapture her husband, a golf-fanatic devoid of imagination. So begins an irresistible story of comic lightness and serious implications; a tale told with Jenkins&’s characteristic ironic wit that explores the attitudes of men and women to sex and relationships, and which focuses on the psychology of the artist and the justification, if any, for art.&“Poor Angus is a strange, wonderful love story [and] Jenkins a remarkable writer whose gentlest touch induces the greatest of pleasures.&”—The Times, UK

Sitting alone in her West Kensington bedsitter, she dreams of the Christian Cinema Company - her vehicle for reform.

Winifred Holtby affectionately observes the foibles of human nature in this sparkiling satire, first published in 1931.
A Poor Excuse for a Dragon (Step into Reading)

But he's determined to make #5--eat people--work. Before you can say "pass the salt" he's gobbled up three people even though he doesn't have the stomach for it. Luckily a local shepherd, with the help of a giant and a witch, knows how to cure what ails him and get those pesky people out of his belly. It's happily-ever-after for everyone in ways you'd never expect.Geisel award-winning author/illustrator Geoffrey Hayes is a stepped reader maestro. The common threads between his wildly popular Uncle Tooth and Otto SIRs and the more recent Benny and Penny series (Toon Books) are clear and constant. The art is adorable, the characters are bursting with personality, and the stories are humorously subversive. From marauding pirates to misbehaving mice to a dragon who swallows people whole (and then continues to communicate with them in his belly!), Geoffrey always hits that sweet spot for the stepped reader audience--easy to decode, illustrative tales that tickle the funnybone.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Poor Mouth
by Flann O'Brien&“The funniest book by Flann O&’Brien. . . . Unhappiness is the comic goldmine from which he extracts The Poor Mouth&’s raw material.&” —The Millions Growing up in Western Ireland, Bonaparte O&’Coonassa is introduced from birth to the never-ending poverty and suffering that constitute the Gaelic character. Downpours unfailingly happen each night. Potatoes are eaten for every meal. His grandfather, Old-Grey-Fellow, regales him with tales of the ill luck and evil that have befallen the Gaels (and always will). Such is life in Corkadoragha. From sharing a small, unkempt house with their pigs (one is too fat to fit through the door), to getting hit on the head for not speaking English on his first—and last—day of school, Bonaparte is constantly reminded of the bleak fate that awaits him as a Gael: &“after great merriment comes sorrow and good weather never remains forever.&” This hilarious parody of rural Irishness &“shows a comic genius working close to his best capability. Humor of this quality, this intensity, is very rare; as witty in its language as in its invention&” (Newsweek). &“The Poor Mouth is wildly funny, but there is at the same time always a sense of black evil. Only O&’Brien&’s genius, of all the writers I can think of, was capable of that mixture of qualities.&” —London Evening Standard &“A fine book, hilarious, moving, gorgeously written.&” —Harper&’s Magazine &“O&’Brien was one of the comic geniuses of the 20th century. . . . The Poor Mouth is wildly funny.&” —The Boston Globe
