These delightful stories about the three cousins Timothy, Sara-Jane, and

Titus are planned for boys and girls six to eight years old. The

illustrations bring the characters alive. The Mysterious Birthday Present

offers a challenge to Sara-Jane who always wants to solve the mystery. In

The Sneaky Thief Mystery the new pet Freddie, a ferret, gets blamed for

something he did not do because of things he had already done. Excellent

for beginning readers - and their grandmothers.
