Ruby and the Sniffs
Michael Emberley. Little, Brown Young Readers, $15.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-316-23664-5
More than a decade after her first adventure, another plucky mouse stars in Ruby and the Sniffs by Michael Emberley with an urban twist on a familiar tale. When Ruby hears noises from the apartment upstairs, she investigates, suspecting cat burglars. Instead she finds three humongous hogs, the friendly Sniff family. Ruby finds herself struggling to escape their (literally) suffocating kindness, smothered both by Momma Sniff's ""too soft"" chair and by Baby's Sniff's abundant posterior.
