KIkki and Toby are kittens when their
mother leaves them behind in the barn with all their brothers and
sisters. The owner of the farm, Daddy, gives Toby to his son Ben and
Kikki to his daughter Sarah. Kikki is scared out her mind when Sarah
takes her in the house. With a little help from Toby, Kikki soon figures
out that the people are not going to hurt her. Mother feeds them stew
for dinner a few times and they fall in love with the delicious food.
One day, when Ben and Sarah are arguing over something, the kittens hear
the words "snot stoo" and think that there is stew in their
bowls. After checking out their bowls and finding no food, they are
confused by the lack of scrumptious food.
Outside, Toby likes teasing
the big, black dog (Butch) that lives on the other side of the fence. He
likes to play a game where he calls Butch names, runs along the top of
the fence, jumps down on Butch's side, and runs through the hole for
safety. But things start to turn sour when the two kittens begin to play
"Snot Stew." And Kikki doesn't know what to do about it.
Snot Stew is an
entertaining fictional book by Bill Wallace. The story is told from a
kitten's (Kikki's) point of view. This book is interned for advanced 3rd to 5th
graders. The two main characters are Kikki, a timid female kitten, and
her brother Toby, an overly confident kitten that always seems to get
into trouble.
