I breathed on the glass and fogged it up. I wiped a circle, drawing a peep hole, and spied a soggy world. \"The ground is wet, the air is cold, and I'm stuck inside,\" I complained. \/\/ \"Morris,\" called my mother. I heard her rattling dishes in the kitchen. \"Clean up those pots and pans.\" \/\/ \"She's been so grumpy,\" I thought. \"Ever since she brought Tommy, my new brother, home from the hospital, she's baggy-eyed, bad-tempered, and boring. Who needs a mother who never takes me to the zoo? Either she's nursing Tommy, cuddling him, or she's cooking or cleaning. Tonight she's cooking shepherd's pie. I hate shepherd's pie! And I'm getting sick of my brother's endless crying. His mouth ought to be corked.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eDan Lukiv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently Published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eNov 09, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e32 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1706864493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781706864493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50337650606385,"sku":"9781706864493","price":12.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781706864493__97825.jpg?v=1732183480","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781706864493","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
