The Creekside Friends

Book excerpt: Every afternoon in the summertime, when the temperature is soaring in the South, even the animals seek relief down by the creekside. It is here where some unlikely friendships have been made, and everyone knows them as the Creekside Friends. Suzie Cat and Pearl the White Mule live on a nearby farm. They seek the shade of the old four-trunked oak tree and the cool creek water and the company of their woodland friends. Most afternoons are spent just peacefully resting and cooling off, until one day something happens that has never happened before. The Creekside Friends set out to find the source and remedy of their dilemma. Along the way, the Creekside Friends meet new friends and strengthen their own friendships.
