Of Mice and Moosecalls (Black and White Edition) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780981047003)

This is a collection of articles from Sonia Jones's humor column called "Life Ever Laughing," orinally published in "The Banner" magazine. The topics range from warbling church mice to operatic moose calls, and from chaos on the farm to wild roosters running amok in the Dutch countryside. But life also has its darker side. There are some poignant stories about a grieving linguistics professor, a plucky Russian expatriate in Paris, and a dog that sniffs out his owner's cancer. There is also a longer piece at the end of the book about the author's own struggle to save her baby's life. What critics say about other books by the same author: "[She] has a born teacher's eye for the well-chosen example... Indeed, the best things in ["It All Began With Daisy"] are its author's good humor and genuine charity of spirit." -- Robert Coleman, New York Times "A colorful parade of well-drawn characters and comic-tragic events. -- Jennifer Henderson, Financial Post
