With musical rhyme and heart-warming illustrations, The Tinkermans tells a tale of making a family. When a stray cat on a cold snowy night is invited home by a gracious old rat, we find the cozy hospitality to include the crumbs and heating in the cracks and spare spaces, in the house of a benign, busy old clock maker tinkering into the night. A cozy, sleepy, happy ending makes the perfect holiday bed time picture for toddlers and all ages.
