Turning Pages

In this episode I spoke with authors about their books for young readers with animals as characters. Ilona Bray and CS Soong talk about their new middle grade novel "Cat Takes Queen," about the world of chess and the importance of community, featuring a very wise and talented cat. "Detective B Tull in No Time for Snickerdoodles" by Ukiah author and illustrator Annie Ruygt is a chapter book for early readers in which mysteries are solved and cookies are baked.
