In Tomie dePaola's "Charlie Needs a Cloak" there is a secondary story taking place in the "underground" of the story. A small mouse is gathering castoffs to create a cozy home while Charlie is creating a cozy cloak. Jan Brett does this -- especially in her Troll books where the trolls have a whole story going on underground (in the boards she has created) I have ALL the Brett books. Pam Munoz Ryan has a parrellel story going in and out of Mice and Beans where the mice are taking items for the birthday party - -and use them to have their own birthday celebration. What other books use this "underground" or parallel story technique? Sharron McElmeel -- =================================================== Sharron L.
