The stars of the celebrated Pug Meets Pig and Pug & Pig Trick-Or-Treat are back in

quite so friendly. That’s Cat. What does Cat love doing? Cat loves sneaking up on Pug
and scaring him! Pug does not think this is funny. And he does not like it at all. But when
thunderstorm comes and Cat gets scared up a tree, Pig, Robin, and Squirrel can’t get him
to climb down. Only Pug can help. But will he?
As the daughter of a printer, Sue Lowell Gallion has a life-long love of type, paper, and
books. Sue is the author of the Pug & Pig picture book series and All Except Axle,
among others. She lives in Leawood, Kansas, with a black lab mix who is not a pug.

THE BASEBALL CARD ADVENTURE SERIES
THE BASEBALL CARD ADVENTURES TREASURY
This treasury combines three books in one volume: Joe Stoshack’s first three ad-
ventures with legendary baseball players Honus Wagner, Jackie Robinson and
Babe Ruth.
HONUS AND ME (Avon)
While clearing out the neighbor’s attic, Joe Stoshack stumbles upon an incredible
treasure—a mint condition Honus T. Wagner T-206 baseball card worth half a
million dollars! When Joe discovers that his find has brought the legendary Honus
Wagner through time to 1996, he uses it to fulfill his dream of playing in a real
major league game.
JACKIE AND ME
This time, Joe Stoshack is bound for 1947 Brooklyn to meet Jackie Robinson, one
of the greatest ballplayers of all time and the man responsible for breaking the
color barrier in the major leagues. Joe’s journey proves to be a lesson in history—
and in courage.
BABE AND ME
According to legend, just before he hit a long home run to straight-away center-
field during the 1932 World Series, Babe Ruth pointed to the centerfield bleachers
and boldly predicted he would slam the next pitch there. Did he call that shot,
or didn’t he? Joe Stoshack knows there’s one way to solve the mystery—so he’s
bound for Wrigley Field—and this time his father’s along for the trip.

SHOELESS JOE AND ME
Joe Stoshack gets the idea that if he travels back in time with a 1919 baseball card in
his hand, he just might be able to prevent the infamous Black Sox Scandal from ever
taking place. And if he could do that, Shoeless Joe Jackson—one of the greatest
players in the history of the game—would finally take his place in the Baseball Hall
of Fame, where he truly belongs.
MICKEY AND ME
Joe’s dad tells him about the great Mickey Mantle and an unfortunate fall in Yankee
Stadium that changed Mantle’s career. Can Joe make it back in time to warn Mickey?
ABNER AND ME
Stosh has time-traveled to 1863, right into the middle of the Civil War. In possibly
his most exciting and definitely his most dangerous trip yet, Stosh has decided to
answer the question for all time: did Abner Doubleday, a Civil War general, really
invent the game of baseball?
SATCH AND ME
Stosh and his coach, Flip Valentini, are on a mission to find out if Satchel Paige
really was the fastest pitcher in the history of the game. They travel back to 1942
and watch Satch pitch in the Negro League World Series. They learn that everything
about Satch is fast—whether it’s his talking, driving or getaways. But is he really the
fastest pitcher who ever lived?
