you don’t love ’em, you’ll have learned a lot about
them—delightfully—after turning the last page of this clever
picture book. . . . Funny and furious . . . a wonderful mélange of
“catitude.” — Booklist, starred review
“The affable older-and-wiser cat is an amusing narrator, and cat
lovers will happily recognize both the delights and occasional
drawbacks of cat ownership. . . . The cats are capably and
endearingly rendered; the big-eyed kittens in particular are sure
to elicit some ‘Awws.’ . . . Sassy Buddy will sashay his way into
many a kid’s heart.” — The Bulletin of the Center for Children's
Books
