31 Page full color Hardcover Photography/Story book. This is the first book in the series! It is self published and written by Meredith Morabito. That Wagon in the Window features original photographs of Cali, a wild chipmunk whose foraging life is forever changed when one day, she darts out of the woods and onto Main Street. A miniature storefront window features the object of her desire: a shiny red wagon so perfect, that Cali must have it. With the precision and speed her species is known for, this enterprising chipmunk lines up a series of odd jobs to pay for the wagon. From tiny boardrooms to repairing broken umbrellas, Meredith has captured Cali’s vocational escapades with her camera. Meredith is an artist based in Saugerties NY, and photographs these chipmunks daily. Cali and her children are completely wild and live underground near her studio and have been visiting her for several years. All photos are original and unedited. NO photoshop. She builds scenes/sets using miniature pieces she makes or find at yard sales. They walk onto the set, get rewarded with seeds/nuts, and then go back to their den. While children delight in the imagery of the chipmunk doing daily tasks, adults are amazed that the photographs are actually real and react to the sense of whimsy. Show more
