My personal favorites were “They Shoot Canoes, Don’t They?” (Both the book and the story), “Skunk Dog”, and “The Green Box”.

I remember reading some McManus stories out loud to my dad one day when he was home sick with a cold. I’ve never heard my Dad laugh so hard since then.

Pat McManus passed away in 2018.

I’m very sorry to hear that. May Yahweh bless you and yours.

I think my fave was “the mountain car” from the book ‘into the night endlessly grousing’ Poor old Mrs
Beasley... LOL

I use to read these stories to our scout troop on our campouts. Always had to have a McManus story with the camp fire. The best of times for all. I’m glad you got to read those to your dad.
