From the same author of Gold Rush Girl, Sarah Elizabeth "Sadie" Taylor shares more than thirty short stories drawn from the lives of her pets and other animal friends to her grandchildren. Whether it be her dog Nip solving mysteries, her daughter's cat Peter dressing up as a clown for a class pet show, or a wild porcupine joining the family on a boat ride, Grandmother Taylor always had a tale to tell. And believe it or not, they're all true! These animal stories tell of adventure, tragedy, and kindness. Sadie offers grandmotherly wisdom and witty commentary on her animal "tails" to all her young readers.
