**The Baron Von Sneeze's coughing and sniffling is keeping the village
of Handkerchief awake! Will Fiona be able to help him . . . and his many
cats?
**
The poor villagers of Handkerchief! For as long as they can remember,
the Baron Von Sneeze, who lives in Castle Gesundheit, has been
sniffling, wheezing, and coughing day and night, and no one can get any
rest. Hoping for some sleep, a girl named Fiona finally drums up the
courage to visit the castle and find out what's ailing its noble
resident. When she arrives, she discovers that the Baron Von Sneeze is
the only human around, and that he's convinced his itchy eyes and runny
nose are incurable. But as Fiona walks through the many rooms amid the
baron's hundreds of cats, she has a suspicion just what (or who) might
have him feeling so unwell, and she has the perfect solution! Mark
Fearing's satisfying tale about lending a helping hand will have little
listeners joining in a chorus of "ahhhh-chooo!"
