Catnip mouse

Smith, A. J. (Andy J.),


In title on item the letter "[o]" appears as a heart. Illustrations rendered digitally. "Meet Vera, a cat who just wants to enjoy her favourite catnip mouse (alone, thank you very much), and Gipp, a dog who just wants to play with Vera (pleasepleaseplease). When Gipp's antics destroy Vera's beloved toy, he uses his "magic wand" to replace it with an increasingly absurd series of rhyming matches. How about a ketchup joust? No? A massive louse? Still no? Maybe a cactus house? NO! All Vera wants is her toy back. When Gipp finally listens to what she's saying, he realizes that his jokes are inconsiderate, and Vera realizes that Gipp just wants to be included. With no catnip mouse and a not-so-magic wand, they'll have to find a way to compromise. This delightfully silly picture book will appeal to any kid who just wants to play alone... and any kid who has ever longed to be included. Catnip Mouse is a laugh-out-loud rhyming word game with a warm and satisfying emotional core."-- Provided by publisher.
