| Mark and Timmie longed for
a pet of their own. They loved dogs, and cats, and
gerbils. They loved rabbits, and ponies, and guinea
pigs. But they loved carrier pigeons most of all.
Their landlord loved pigeons, too. He had a whole
loft of them, but he said "absolutely no pets" when
he rented the small house to the boys' mother. So
they could only watch and dream. What would it be
like to have 'homers' of their very own? (c) Amazon.com

| CELEBRATE GOD'S GIFT OF MEMORIES.
Combining Janette Oke's beloved storytelling with
lush, gorgeous illustration, Making Memories is
a picture book for all ages that will strike a chord
in your heart and win a prominent spot in your house.

and the first smile of his baby brother. The tender
wisdom imparted from man to child is the foundation
of the book. A keepsake you can cherish now and
in years to come, Making Memories beautifully celebrates
the special people and events God can bring into
a child's life while emphasizing the importance
of cherishing those memories throughout our lives.

alert. "Remember to think-think-think" warned his

as she lead the others into the daylight. Curious
little Flick learns many valuable lessons, especially

such a way. It felt just wonderful. I wanted to
curl up against Girl's strange smelling softness
and fall fast asleep while enjoying the luxury of
being caressed. from This Little Pig From that time
on Hiram and his brother Hawkins spent their growing
