Books
This month's book reviews
Peter liked to lie down on the carpet in front of the
living room fireplace and pet his old friend William the
Cat. One day, he was guided by William to a button-like
bone just beneath the cat's chin. Peter found out that
he could zip open the cat's fur and let William out of
it. To Peter's astonishment, the cat then showed him how
to zip off his own skin. Read about this book and more,
this month in our book reviews.
