The story begins with a couple of orphans who adopt each other:  a young, tough-guy cat and his duckling sidekick who take over an old abandoned barn. Two extra-smart Mom and Pop mice named Tooth and Cletus soon arrive, having recently escaped from the evil NAARF laboratory. In Book 2, a brave, bossy bunny and a squirrel with an impeccable flair join the family ranks. The mice engage in delightful, vocabulary-building banter as they seek to provide stability and safety for their adopted multi-species brood. Strange inventions emerge from Cletus’ workshop as the animals pull together in rescues and close calls involving wily weasels and nefarious NAARFers, giving readers a good look at a healthy example of “found family.” Adoptive, foster, and other families celebrating diversity will appreciate how this close-knit group gets through tough times, solves their differences, encourages the underdog, and grows ever closer with each new adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooktiMookti Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12509720444985,"sku":"book-Clovis-Escapes!","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0126\/3901\/0873\/products\/runtfarmbook.jpg?v=1603739696","url":"https:\/\/www.bootylandkids.com\/products\/runt-farm-clovis-escapes","provider":"Bootyland Kids","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
