My Very Own Special Particular Private and Personal Cat - Hardcover

by Sandol Stoddard Warburg (Author), Remy Charlip (Illustrator)

Meet a little boy who believes his beautiful tabby cat is the most special, particular, private, and personal cat in the entire universe. She is the perfect companion for everything: building fortresses, sharing secrets, and snuggling up for a quiet afternoon nap.

But when his beloved feline friend insists on sharing her affections with other members of the family--snuggling Mom on the sofa, playing chase with Dad, and even sleeping on his sister's bed--the boy starts to worry. Is his cat really all his?

And can a cat be special to everyone without losing what makes her personal to him? Every child struggling with sharing will relate!

With humor, warmth, and delightfully expressive illustrations, this story is a wonderful exploration of unconditional love, the nature of friendship, and the quiet realization that sharing your heart (and your cat!) only makes the bond stronger. A perfect read-aloud for any child who has ever loved a pet just a little too much.
