They do sit sometimes and look in the general area where they can hear the mice. But it never goes farther than that. I was pleased to discover a couple of these books at my library, so I've placed holds. All are new to me! I also have John Green's new novel.... I've been saving it for a reading slump, but I'm actually in a reading slump, so maybe now is the right time!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.com
