Spiders On the Case (2011)
“Jo Bell asked when she returned to the display case.
“I’m here,” Edith said.
“But where’s Fatty? Julep? Felix?”
“Well, let’s see. Fatty went down to the library café to see if there’s any garbage about. He loves those tuna wraps they sell. Felix is hanging around in the military section. There’s a Civil War book that caught his fancy. I myself was just about to skibble over to an adorable miniature Book of Common Prayer.”
Borrring! Jo Bell thought, but didn’t say it out loud.
“Julep most likely... is back at the circus — the pop-up book. She loves swinging on that paper trapeze.”
“Wrong!” Julep sang out as she lithely made her way down through the silverfish in the storage web. “Not in the circus book — the toilet pop-up book.”
“The toilet book!” Edith and Jo Bell both exclaimed.
“Not what you think. Not that kind of toilet, but twa-let! Jo Bell, you should know. It’s the French word for dressing. It doesn’t mean pooping. It’s all the little bottles and hairbrushes and stuff that human ladies keep on their dressing tables.MoreLess
