A truly innovative book for cat and kitten lovers -- Oliver's naughty
and precocious perceptions of humans will delight, surprise and perhaps
even shock you.
Oliver Kitten was born in a firetruck and ends up living with a
three-generation multicultural human family in a high-rise apartment. He
keeps a diary of his own escapades and the things he hears and sees his
family get up to. At once cute and funny, Oliver is a little naughty and
sometimes downright wicked in his precocious observations of the things
the humans in his house get up to.
Oliver's family includes a Scottish grandmother (whose knitting wool has
adventures of its own), Clint, a sometime unpredictable two-year-old
boy, the father Richard, his wife Nicole, and Lucy, their 13-year-old
daughter. Lucy thinks she is Oliver Kitten's owner and spends her life
between the fridge and her bedroom, generally with Oliver in one hand
and her phone in the other.
Oliver is a diligent kitten and keeps a daily diary covering everything
in his life including paper shredding, leaping, purring, meowing,
kneading, scratching, grooming hiding, escaping, finding sleeping places
and giving licks and kisses.
Elegantly produced with black and white line drawings, Oliver Kitten's
Diary shows us a kitten evolving into a powerful and smart adult cat
with lots of fun, affection, love and adventures.
