Gabriel Churchkitten
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabriel Churchkitten is a children's book written in 1942 by Margot Austin and published that same year by Dutton. It is the second in a series of four books about a mouse, a cat and a dog that live in the church of Parson Peaseporrige. The parson is a bit absent-minded and in this book he sleepwalks. When he does, he eats the cheese, milk and bone he has set out for the animals. To make matters worse he also plays the organ in his sleep. To find a solution Gabriel puts on his thinking cap. He once heard the parson say, "A little bird told me...." So Gabriel's ties a glass bird in a nest on his head as a thinking cap.
