bossy . . .

Review Quotes
"A real treat for the legion of readers with intersecting loves of books and cats." -- Booklist
"The best part of the book is its potential for teaching and learning; the less concrete descriptors open the way for vocabulary-building, and once the author has shown them how to play the game, most readers will want to come up with their own alphabets." -- School Library Journal
"An alphabetical celebration of the venerable bookstore cat." -- Kirkus Reviews
