A classic Golden Book, with lots of kid appeal, is back in print! What happens when the local rag man sneezes? The kitten’s ears end up on the bunny. The bunny’s ears end up on the kitten. The dog meows, the cat barks. “No barnyard will have me!” crows the rooster, whose tail feathers now sprout out of his head. But with a little concentration—and a lot of pepper—the rag man tries to sneeze everything right: “Katchoo! Katchim! Katcham! Katchibble! Fumadiddle! Skedaddle! Fiddle-faddle!” Hilariously reillustrated by Bruce Ingman, this classic Golden Book will delight a new generation.

Murder is nothing to sneeze at for Los Angeles private eye Fergus O’Breen, in this whodunit from “a fine craftsman” (Ellery Queen). Anthony Boucher was a literary renaissance man: an Edgar Award–winning mystery reviewer, an esteemed editor of the Hugo Award–winning Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, a prolific scriptwriter of radio mystery programs, and an accomplished writer of mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. With a particular fondness for the locked room mystery, Boucher created such iconic sleuths as Los Angeles PI Fergus O’Breen, amateur sleuth Sister Ursula, and alcoholic ex-cop Nick Noble. A mysterious stranger has requested Los Angeles private investigator Fergus O’Breen investigate the twenty-five-year-old unsolved murder of a bridesmaid at a wedding. But since the man will not reveal his name or allow any new discoveries to be shared with the authorities, O’Breen refuses to take the job. Fate, however, steps in, and the gumshoe is soon invited to the silver anniversary celebration of the same wedding on a secluded island just off the coast. The stranger being in attendance isn’t the only surprise for Fergus. When all the guests are marooned, it becomes clear someone’s out to spoil the party, and O’Breen vows to find the culprit before history violently repeats itself . . .

Lizzy Anderson is given a cold for her first birthday, and discovers she always sneezes in sevens. Her mum worries about her, her dad loses interest, and Lizzy learns to entertain and look after herself. Over the years (one chapter for each), we trace Lizzy's childhood, teenage years and then adulthood, first as a single woman, then a wife, a mother and beyond. As the years pass we enjoy all her heart-warming highs and suffer all her heart-breaking lows as she navigates through what becomes one woman's life, sparked by one key moment: Lizzy felt something flutter over her right hand, which was still clamped over her face in case she sneezed an eighth time, although that had never happened. It felt like a handkerchief. She had been told not to accept anything from strangers, but this man (or boy, as now she'd stopped sneezing she thought he sounded young) appeared friendly, and was being helpful, and what else could she do with her sticky palm or runny face? “Thank you,” she said, turning away to begin cleaning her face, delighted to realise she was still in the shadows, and he probably couldn't see how messy she was. “I'm Lizzy,” she said. “Short for Elizabeth.” “More like Esneezybeth,” he said, his cheeky chuckle making him sound even younger. “I'm Fred,” he said. “Short for Freddie.”

It is July 19, 1863 when the Amazon arrives from London at the New York docks with eight hundred Mormons on board. Among the arriving Saints are seven young, unmarried, unrelated "sisters in the gospel," who have been placed together as a family during their forty-four-day voyage. The Seven Sisters, as they have come to be called, have become close enough to vow to stay together all the way to their new home in Utah. The Sisters must now travel overland by railroads and waterways to the Mormon outfitting camp in Nebraska Territory, where they plan to join the "down and back" wagons and trek to the Salt Lake Valley. As they make this journey, the Sisters experience many difficulties--from the rigors of changing trains and riverboats to sleeping outside in unpredictable weather to wondering when or where they will find their next sustenance. While facing unexpected accidents, sickness, and loss, the Sisters trek the last thousand miles on foot in unforgiving environments with the possibility of cattle and buffalo stampedes, hostile Indians, and treacherous river crossings. In this continuing historical tale, the Seven Sisters must face their biggest fears and rely on their faith, courage, and optimism to survive this challenging journey to their "Zion" home.

A wise, witty, sometimes heartbreaking love story about a pet doctor who discovers that the best relationships are often the most surprising Dr. Robert Heller is one of New York City's leading veterinarians, and his "Ask Dr. Bob" advice column is hugely popular among pet-lovers. Yet Dr. Bob understands animals a lot better than people, and he definitely could use some advice of his own—especially when it comes to his family. His father is angry and controlling, his mother is nearly invisible, and his brother seems bent on destroying not just his own life but the lives of everyone around him. As for Bob's wife, Anna, she is all but perfect, assuming one can ignore her own colorful but deeply dysfunctional clan. And then, just when Bob thinks he's figured out what it takes to thrive in the human world as comfortably as he does among cats, dogs, and hamsters, tragedy strikes. How can he go on living when he is suddenly, soul-killingly alone? In previous books, Peter Gethers has written charming true tales about what a man can learn from a beloved cat. Now he ventures into new territory with a funny, touching novel about a pet doctor who finds out what it means to be human, and what a family must do to truly become a family. Full of unforgettable characters, Ask Bob will remind everyone that sometimes we need a lot more than love to make the world go around—but that love is an awfully good place to start.
