Why read it?

The narrator of Cat Problems is a cynical, bad-tempered, ungrateful cat (sounds a lot like my cat, Stanley), wonderfully drawn by the brilliant Lane Smith.

Sometimes, you don’t need a lesson, you just need to laugh—and you will!
From Nicola's list on The best funny picture books about cats.
