Does this describe your cat?
“I’m a very special cat!I say that every day – I love myself so very much and always get my way.”
It surely describes our family cat, right down to the “love myself so very much”. Don’t get me wrong, we love her too, but there is a self-centeredness to cats that you just don’t get with other animals.
This hilarious book is perfect for all cat lovers, big or small. The illustrations are really well done, Cameron Bennet does an excellent job conveying our little self-centered main character.
The story is cute, my daughter loves it because a dog comes into the household partway through the book, something that my children are desperately hoping for in the near future.
At the end are a couple of little questionnaires for the kids to answer about their pets, and their family, which were fun to do.
