false 1620078 1 Kaline Klattermaster LOVES his mom. ADORES his mom. But his mom can be, well, a bit forgetful sometimes. A bit lax. A bit...CRAZY. For instance, she's a bit crazy when she leaves him in the tub for THREE HOURS. Or gives him a chicken leg for breakfast...or forgets that he needs to go to school. AND he's not completely sure his mother understands how time works. <P><P>She's been even a bit MORE CRAZY since his dad left. So it's a very good thing that the folks in Kaline's tree house are not so crazy. They understand him. They don't mind that he sometimes HAS to play his pretend bugle, and, of course, they are FULL of good advice on how to handle bullies. <P><P>His mom hints that the tree house is imaginary. Kaline is UNCONVINCED. <P><P>The <I>New York Times</i> bestselling<P>author of <I>A Girl Named Zippy</i> is delighted<P>to introduce Kaline Klattermaster, a little boy who understands the importance <P>of a few good friends -- make-believe OR otherwise. <P><P> 1614008 5 2 2008 Kaline Klattermaster's Tree House total:54|5:14|4:13|3:15|2:6|1:6| 54 185 93 21 4 1 false false Sat Mar 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 29 14:27:27 -0700 2008 Mon May 05 19:03:01 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 1 false false Wed Feb 27 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 20:26:55 -0800 2008 Sun Sep 28 08:10:40 -0700 2008
