Narrated by a cat-loving little girl, this story is a hysterical romp
through a family's pet adoption dilemma. Poor Dad does not like cats,
and he voices his opposition to the steady stream of stray cats that
always seem to wind up on his doorstep--thanks to a cat-loving Mom who
wants to save every stray she finds. In an effort to win Dad over, the
little girl hides a tiny stray kitten in her hood and convinces Dad to
just give it one small squeeze. Dad manages, with trepidation, to stick
out his pinkie and pet the creature. But now that five cats have taken
over his favorite chair, he becomes desperate and makes a visit to the
pound. Dad returns happily with a big, fat puppy--everyone gets
something that they want. With hilarious ink and watercolor
illustrations, this picture book demonstrates the resourcefulness, love,
and compromises of a pet-loving family.
