Old Cyrus Grape doesn't like children. And he insists that the skating pond is 'his.' Mr. Whiskers knows this isn't true, but since he can't prove it, there'll be no skating...not even on Christmas Day! That is...unless cleaning Mr. Whiskers' house uncovers some important information. This 1976 classic is back for a new generation of Devlin fans to enjoy, with Maggie's favorite cranberry cookie recipe on the back.

("Suffering codfish! Somebody's after me," Mr. Whiskers gr...)
"Suffering codfish! Somebody's after me," Mr. Whiskers groans. And somebody is. It all starts on a gray February day in Cranberryport, when Mr. Whiskers admits to Maggie and Grandmother that he has never, ever, received a valentine. Then two days later, a big lacy valentine arrives for him, full of cupids, lovebirds, hearts and flowers. "How sweet," says Maggie. "Revolting," says Mr. Whiskers. The next day three more fancy valentines arrive for Mr. Whiskers, and he begins to get worried...particularly when he hears that a lady in green has been asking for him all over town. Then more valentines arrive and Mr. Whiskers is terrified! Should he hide or leave town? How Mr. Whiskers solves the mystery of his secret admirer and enjoys a Happy Valentine's Day after all makes this another appealing story in the much loved Cranberryport series. Originally printed in 1986, this tale is back for all to enjoy along with Grandmother's delicious recipe for Cranberry Upside-Down Cake!

Many parents will remember this book from their childhood. It is the story of three frineds (the raccoon, the crow, and the fox) who call themselves the "Knobby Boys" just because they like the sound of that name. This is a wonderful tale for families to share.
