named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend. They also express the love of a girl
named Fern, who saved Wilbur's life when he was born the runt of his litter.

What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?
What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted?
Tucker is a streetwise city mouse. He thought he'd seen
it all. But he's never met a cricket before, which really isn't surprising,
because, along with his friend Harry Cat, Tucker lives in the very heart of New
York City--the Times Square subway station. Chester Cricket never intended to
leave his Connecticut meadow. He'd be there still if he hadn't followed the
entrancing aroma of liverwurst right into someone's picnic basket. Now, like
any tourist in the city, he wants to look around. And he could not have found
two better guides--and friends--than Tucker and Harry. The trio have many
adventures--from taking in the sights and sounds of Broadway to escaping a
smoky fire.
Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie (unabridged; read by Roe Kendall)
As a baby, Peter Pan fell out of his
carriage and was taken by fairies to Neverland. There he can fly and is the
champion of the Lost Boys and a friend to the fairy Tinker Bell. Revisiting
England, Peter becomes involved with Wendy Darling and her younger brothers,
all of whom accompany Peter to Neverland. Peter, the Lost Boys, and the
children have many adventures and vanquish the pirate Captain Hook. The Darling
children eventually return home, taking the Lost Boys with them and leaving
Peter Pan to his perpetual boyhood.
