MICROGRAPHICA GN
by Renée French
A mob of tiny rodents live la vida loca, led by the trash-talking bully Moe, and
his trash-talking sidekick Preston. Add in Nubbins, the big guy, the poor, sweet
crapball-lovin' Aldo, and a rotting corpse-turned-playground, and you'll never
find a more moving affirmation of traditional values. Inspired by a bald bird
sighting while the author was wandering Hunter's Hill in Sydney, Australia, this
book is pure weirdness! (MAR073734)
