BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Someone has left a big mess at the playground and Cranky and his friends need to clean it up before they can finish their important job. Turns out a stray cat has taken over the area and each step of the job the cat does something to aggravate Cranky - including eating his lunch. But every bad cat also has a sweet side ready to be encouraged.
While the reading level seems a bit above a 2, the story is still a fun one for adult and child to read together - especially if you have a cat. Or dog people can talk about what a stray dog might do differently from a cat.
