13 Clocks

This is my new favorite children's book.

I have never read a more cleverly written story.

Here is an excerpt from the story that is a song sung by a minstrel on the street:

Hark, hark, the dogs do bark,

But only one in three

They bark at those in velvet gowns,

They never bark at me.

The Duke is fond of velvet gowns

He'll ask you all to tea.

But I'm in rags, and I'm in tags,

He'll never send for me.

Hark, hark, the dogs do back,

The Duke is fond of kittens.

He likes to take their insides out,

And use their fur for mittens.

"I think this is a really great book, but don't just take my word for it..."
