"Both children and adults with roar with laughter."--School Library
Journal
Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary charms readers with yet
another lovable character--Socks, a jealous cat who must learn to share
his owners with their new baby.
Socks is one happy cat. He lives the good life with his affectionate
owners, Mr. and Mrs. Bricker. Ever since the day they saved him from a
life spent in a mailbox drop slot, Socks has been the center of their
world. And he always has everything he needs--tasty kitty treats and all
the lap room he could want!
But when a new baby arrives, suddenly the Brickers have less and less
time for Socks. Little Charles William is the one getting all the
attention. Socks feels left out--and to show it, he starts getting into
all sorts of trouble! What will it take to make Socks realize just how
much the Brickers care about him?
