Socks is the name of a character created by Beverly Cleary. He is a young tabby cat with four white paws, and he lives happily with a young married couple, Marilyn and Bill Bricker. The center of the Bricker household, Socks rules it affectionately but firmly. Into this loving home, however, comes another pet. This creature has a small, wrinkled, furless face, and Mr. and Mrs. Bricker spend an inordinate amount of time trying to burp it. Its arrival fills Socks with jealousy and a terrible anxiety. How the rivalry between Socks and Charles William, the Bricker baby, turns into an alliance makes a domestic drama both touching and funny. Although her story is about a cat and faithful to his point of view in every detail, Mrs. Cleary demonstrates with it the emotional upheaval experienced by a child who must learn to share his parents. As young readers come to understand Socks and his problems, they will gain a new understanding of themselves. But, most of all, they will laugh. Praise for Socks"A favorite author brings alive the amusing devastation of the happy home life of Socks, the cat, who is unnerved by the addition of a new baby to the household. Told in Socks' voice, the story delivers a hysterical account of adjusting to change. Both children and adults will roar with laughter at Sock's antics and cringe at his misdeeds." - School Library Journal

No one asked Tom how he would feel about spending two months on his Aunt Millie's farm. Maybe that's because he would have said he didn't feel good about it at all. Tom doesn't like animals and they don't like him - and now the city boy has to put up with stampeding baby lambs, boy-chasing chickens, and more. Worst of all, he's lonely. With no friends around, there isn't much for him to do besides explore the fields and nearby forest on his own. Then Tom sees a graceful black fox in the woods. Suddenly he finds he can spend hours watching her. Without even realizing it, he starts to become more comfortable with the power, beauty, and mysterious magic of the natural world, and to feel that he is a part of nature himself. When the lives of his fox and her cub are in danger, Tom knows that he has to do something. Betsy Byars, Newbery Medal-winning author of The Summer of the Swans, The Pinballs, and numerous other books for young readers, has created a thoughtful environmental story with a likable hero. Her full, detailed descriptions of the fox and her world make nature come alive for readers just as it gradually does for Tom himself. But it's Tom's believable, strong connection with the midnight fox that makes this book so compelling for both city kids and country kids alike.
