    About this ebook

    Short illustrated chapter book for younger readers: Sibling rivalry runs rampant in this humorous, true-to-life struggle between bossy pine frendible Henbit and her two bratty younger sisters. Who will have the last laugh?

    Frendibles are small creatures who live in the woods, meadows and thickets of the southern United States. No bigger than baking potatoes, they live undetected by humans in abandoned foxholes, rabbit warrens and the holes left by the roots of fallen trees. Their guardian is the mysterious red-tailed hawk Tegera.

    "Henbit and the Roly Poly" is a stand-alone story, not part of the "Forest of the Frendibles" series.
