Kitty - by Rebecca Jordan-Glum (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Granny thinks catsitting will be easy. She'll make her signature cupcakes, give the cat a good brushing, and together they'll share a sweet night's rest. But Kitty has other plans. After Granny loses her glasses and accidentally lets a raccoon inside, all bets are off--much to the cat's displeasure"--Inside jacket flap

Book Synopsis

When Granny comes to cat-sit, she's in for a lot more than she anticipated in this sly, irreverent picture book by Rebecca Jordan-Glum (The Trouble with Penguins, Fall 2020).

"Don't worry about a thing," Granny said. "The cat will be just fine."

When Granny comes to cat-sit, she anticipates a little work, a few snuggles, and a good night's sleep. What she doesn't expect is CHAOS.

After Granny misplaces her glasses, she accidentally lets the cat out...and a raccoon in...a raccoon that looks a little like a cat. What follows is a raucous escapade that leaves in its wake one very confused Granny, one very upset cat, and one very satisfied raccoon.

Review Quotes

*A Boston Globe Best Book of 2022!*

"Irresistible fun with one rowdy raccoon." - Kirkus Reviews

"Jordan-Glum's text is spare, her jokes either marvelously underplayed or purely visual. Kitty is teeming with...choice visual touches, including cute curios like penguin salt-and-pepper shakers, color-bursting vintage-style wallpaper and intermittent glimpses of Satsuki, who, peering in the window, enjoys the show." - Shelf Awareness
