Eileen Ridgers was born in 1912 and since a very early age recorded events that happen to or around her, in verse. Today, in 2005, Eileen aged 93, registered deaf and blind, is still writing of her experiences in expressive and humorous verses. This book records only some of the hundreds written by her. They are always, written in simple prose and always about life around us. From simple humorous stories about plastic bags, to more poignant stories about age and health. Eileen always captures optimistically the trials and tribulations of living in the complex world of today.
Who knew that one little noise could set off a whole cacophony? In this chain-reaction story, the animal world wakes up with a squeak! Early one morning, a gentle breeze tickles the ear of a small mouse, and he wakes up with a squeak! That squeak wakes up the some chipmunks, who rattle tree branches and knock pinecones into the river. Those pinecones wake the trout, who splash around and wake up an elk on the riverbank. And so goes the story of Squeak!, a chain-reaction story set in a beautiful, rolling landscape with animals who are all woken up one by one with the rising of the sun. With lush and vivid art, and plenty of fun animal noises on each page, this story is a perfect read-aloud to wake up to--or to read any time of day.
