The kids of Cattywampus Street

Lisa Jahn-Clough ; illustrations by Natalie Andrewson

It's a long, twisty road in the middle of Nowheresville, where weird things happen pretty much every day. Here, you can: run around town with Mateo while he chases a silly little monkey. Whoa, watch out--that monkey likes to throw things! Eat a waffle (or two, or three, or a hundred) with Hans, made by his lovely mommy. Hmmm, that's odd. Hans is looking more and more like a waffle himself.... Tremble along with Ursula when she finds herself face to face with--uh-oh!--the ghost of the Waddlebee Toy Store. Inside this book, you'll discover eleven funny, scary, exciting, magical just plain wonderful stories about eleven utterly, outrageously unforgettable friends who, in some strange way, may just remind you a little bit of yourself
