Hare's Half-Day Hardware Store

Barnaby Quill

A hammer goes missing, paint swirls the wrong color, and someone keeps opening the store before noon when the sign clearly says half day. Barnaby Quill's cozy woodland mystery follows Hare and a cast of bickering animal neighbors through small shop chaos that turns into gentle problem solving. Best for ages 5 to 8 who like knowing slightly more than the characters do. Sadie Bracken reads with a slow, friendly pace and distinct voices for each flustered customer.
