In TEENIE WEENIES IN THE WILDWOOD, the Poet and the Lady of Fashion get kidnapped by the Wild Men, and the rest of the Teenie Weenies mount a rescue expedition. This book contains 8 full colour plates and many, many Pen and Ink Vignettes. The Teenie Weenies had known for some time that a tribe of tiny wild men lived in a big swamp many teenie weenie miles from the shoe house. Field mice and birds had carried the news of these strange little people to the Teenie Weenies for some time. The wild men spoke a language quite different from the Teenie Weenies. “These wild men are very cruel,” a friendly bird told the Teenie Weenies. “They are called Saboes, or frog eaters, and they would just as soon destroy a person as look at him.” Despite leaving them alone, one afternoon a snail “raced” up to the shoe house with alarming news—the Lady of Fashion and the Poet had been captured by the wild men! “Gracious!” gasped the General who then ordered the alarm bell be rung. In a few minutes, two birds flew under the rose bush where the village stood and one by one, several mice, a squirrel and a couple of intelligent-looking bugs appeared. “Friends,” said the General, addressing the assembled crowd, “I have terrible news! The Lady of Fashion and the Poet have been captured by the wild men. This—this snail here has just brought the report.” The Teenie Weenies and their friends were much shocked by the news. They decide to mount a rescue and plans are put into action. To break open the enemy fortress, the Teenie Weenies hire a mole to dig a tunnel, and mine the wall with a firecracker. But what happened next? Did they manage to mine the enemy’s camp and set the mine off? Was a peaceful solution found, or did they have to use force to break the Poet and the Lady of Fashion out?

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini's compelling historical novel unveils the private lives of Abraham and Mary Lincoln through the perspective of the First Lady's most trusted confidante and friend, her dressmaker, Elizabeth Keckley. In a life that spanned nearly a century and witnessed some of the most momentous events in American history, Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley was born a slave. A gifted seamstress, she earned her freedom by the skill of her needle, and won the friendship of First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln by her devotion. A sweeping historical novel, Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker illuminates the extraordinary relationship the two women shared, beginning in the hallowed halls of the White House during the trials of the Civil War and enduring almost, but not quite, to the end of Mrs. Lincoln's days.

A boy and his father literally find themselves in each other's shoes.
