July 2023

Nebraska

It’s a terrible case of mistaken identity!    George’s trip to the vet clinic goes horribly wrong when his name tag is accidentally switched with Briggston’s, another feline patient who looks remarkably like George. A stranger arrives to take him home, and George soon finds himself at the library—not his home at the farm at all. Unfortunately, the librarians don’t understand George when he tries to tell them he’s not Briggston, and they stop him each time he attempts to leave the building.     George gets an offer of help from the other library pets, a pair of know-it-all guinea pigs who have some really crazy ideas about how George might escape, and a confused young bull snake with his own dreams of freedom. Not exactly the tactical team he needs. Besides that, he suddenly finds himself responsible for duties that should belong to Briggston: entertaining overenthusiastic kids at story hour, guarding the nonfiction section from book-hungry guinea pigs, and keeping a wary eye out for anyone who wants to dress him up for the local pet costume contest.     Will George ever see his beloved farm again?

George Meets His Match

George is NOT a Mama Duck!      George, the feline chief-in-charge of security on his humans’ farm, is at his wit’s end. The sheep are plotting an escape, Pauline the llama is threatening to resign, and the dogs are completely out of control.  He definitely needs some help with patrol duties, and Felix, the younger cat who just recently moved to the farm, seems to be the perfect candidate.    The only problem?  Felix isn’t interested.  He’d rather be napping than doing a stakeout in the barn for mice.    Then Kid, a small duckling, arrives. She’s cute and fluffy and absolutely convinced that George is her mother.  And she’s eager to learn how to be a security officer just like Mom—uh, George.    Can George train a duckling for patrol?  More importantly, can George keep Kid safe when the notorious coyote, Old Mangy, returns to the farm looking for revenge?

George Trains the Troops

George, the cat in charge of security on his human's farm, thinks he has everything in his territory completely under control--until the day that he finds a strange kitten napping in his spot on his porch. Even worse, this pipsqueak, Felix, has two doggy bodyguards who chase George away from his rightful spot and straight up a tree.George vows to recover his spot, but one by one his plans are sabotaged by Felix and his hounds. The other farmyard animals can't seem to see through Felix's "poor little kitty" act and begin to fall under his spell. Even George's human is tricked by Felix's charm and threatens to relieve George of duty.George needs to think up a way to get rid of Felix--and quickly--before Felix's takeover of the farm is complete.
