Little Honker Gets Assistance
This story was started before I wrote Swinging Tails. I could NOT figure out how to get Little Honker out of the pond. I put him away in a drawer for quite a while. During the summer we had our granddaughter and rescued three cats, things changed. The kitten we adopted jumped into the bubble bath with her and--Bingo--I knew the answer to my problem. Fanta will help Little Honker. After that, the story fell into place pretty easily. Actually this has not only been one of my favorite stories to write but it has been a favorite with young readers. Fanta still loves water, but she does not take any more bubble baths.
Book Excerpt
Little Honker's Backyard Adventures
“I. . . (gasp) . . .am. . .(gasp) not. . .(gasp) . . . like (gasp) . . .you,” Warren honked.
Suddenly there was another splash in the pond. Warren felt a push, a shove, and the next thing he knew, he was at the edge of the pond. He pulled himself up, shook himself off, and looked around.
He saw another cat. Big, mostly black, and soaking wet just like he was.
“Who are you? Where did you come from?” Warren asked.
“I jumped over the fence when I heard your honks. You’re a cat. Why do you honk?” the new arrival asked.
“My honk is my meow. I was born this way,” Warren said. “What’s your name? Where do you live?”
“I go by Fanta. We are moving in next to you.”
