Description
It was the best of meows, it was the worst of meows....
Mittens and Boots have nothing in common. Nada. Zilch. Okay, maybe they live in the same house, but sharing is NOT in their vocabulary. They each have their own food bowls, bathing rituals, and bad habits. And they like it that way. Life is glorious until IT arrives, replacing their usual cozy armchairs.
The loveseat.
PAW-lease. This wasn't love. It was revenge. Plain and simple. Payback from their humans for the litter box situation. It really wasn't good. Soon, it's two cantankerous cats against one loveseat, leather-bent on being the new bestie. Setting aside their differences won't be easy for the furry adversaries, but cat naps are calling.
A Tale of Two Kitties celebrates that while each of us is unique, we're similar in all the ways that truly matter.
About the author
Judith Graves is an award-winning young adult fiction writer (Exposed and Infiltrate: Retribution Series, Orca Book Publishers), as well as a screenwriter and illustrator. A Tale of Two Kitties, her debut picture book, was published by Acorn Press. A firm believer that fiction can be action-packed, sassy, and yet hit the right emotional notes, Judith writes stories with attitude. As a child, Judith lived in Summerside when her father was in the Forces. It was a sad day when he was posted and the family moved to Alberta. She may have convinced her husband to have an Anne of Green Gables themed wedding. The Island kept calling to Judith, and now, many years later, she's back and thrilled to be living in Summerside with her husband and sassy fur babies.
