The story

Negotiaty carries an abacus and a calculator so she can bargain for anything, from cookies to homework. When she grabs Bobpothesis's shaving cream to make a bigger cloud, it sprays all over her and she disappears.

She lands among snapping turtles and rice bowls at the Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, Thailand, where a street-smart cat named Maew pulls her out from under thousands of human feet.

The real place: Chatuchak Market

Three things to tell your kid after the story.

  1. 1Chatuchak in Bangkok is one of the biggest weekend markets in the world, with thousands of stalls.
  2. 2You can find almost anything there, from clothes and toys to plants, pottery and food.
  3. 3"Maew" really is the Thai word for cat, and it sounds a lot like a meow.
