100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson

This will be my next read with my daughter when we finish The Cricket on the Hearth.  It was a Christmas present to her from our friend Becca.

    That 100 Cupboards reminds me of the Indian in the Cupboard. Sounds like a great read!
    Thanks for participating!

    Of course it's the kettle's fault! Isn't it always. :-) Interesting beginning!
