Gus, Scruffy, Clara and Friends is a collection of five fun
stories about animal friends. Gus the goose and his friends,
Gertrude, Gladys, Gwen, Gary, and Gordon are geese who
live in a public park where children play. Scruffy the cat was
born as an outdoors cat who found a home with people who
love and take care of him. Clara the crabby cow is unhappy
about her routine life of giving milk and eating grass until she
finds a little girl who loves her.
In today’s world, Grandparents travel great distances to visit
their children and grandchildren. After their arrival and a
round of ‘hugs’ and ‘kisses’ it isn’t long before the
grandchildren plead, “Grandma or Grandpa, tell us a story.”
Most grandparents resort to telling stories that the children
have already heard many times before.
Author Gidge Dreher has come up with a new twist –
developing stories while traveling. Geese standing on
playground equipment, a misplaced and forgotten soccer ball
in a field, a scruffy cat entertaining his caretaker, and a cow
gyrating in a peculiar fashion coupled with a vivid childhood
imagination and mysterious intrigue becomes beautiful
children’s story.
