We have a patron trying to locate a book we think is from the late
70's or early '80s.  It is a chapter book about a family who found a secret
world.  They called one of the brothers in the family (perhaps the baby)
Pollywog. She also THINKS it may have been made into a TV movie. With such
sketchy information, we really haven't searched any sources...we're hoping
someone out there might recognize it?  Thanks!

Squatter's Rights

(Richard Shaw)

Listen, kitten,
Get this clear,
This is my chair.
I sit here.

Okay, kitty,
We can share;
When I'm not home,
It's your chair.

Listen cat
How about
If I use it
When you're out?
