Book Cover & Preview Text
Come, Lil Little," mother said in a rather stern voice. Time is wasting and we must move on."
Lil Little knew that hibernation was nearing. She also was very aware of the fact that the family was depending on the two of them to find a winter home. Since Mr. Westbrook had done a very good job of securing his home against any unwanted intruders, it was not going to be an easy task. The vents had been covered and all cracks had been sealed. That took care of last year's home for them. So, Mother was right-they did need to get moving, Lil Little thought.
Mother was proud that the family had chosen the two of them for this task Lil Little was, too, and would help her mother even though she had nooooo intentions of staying in a dark place sleeping all winter. She had other plans.
