Book summary

Mother Holly is a magical person who lives in a house full of magical and mysterious items. When her curious cat swallows a kernel of pop corn he starts to make all sorts of loud noises--could he have swallowed the magical popcorn Mother Holly uses to make thunder?

Media Reviews


"The oversized format and lively story line make this a fine read-aloud for a group, although there are also tiny hidden details...that will reward those who read the book one-on-one with a child."

   -- Kirkus

Publisher Notes
