 Here Comes Valentine Cat
by Deborah Underwood, Claudia Rueda
Ages 3–5
Cat does not care for Valentine’s Day. It’s too mushy a holiday, and he is not at all interested in doing something nice for his new neighbor Dog, who annoys him by tossing bones over the fence. Cat is just composing a not-friendly Valentine for his annoying neighbor when Dog surprises him by tossing a ball over the fence instead. Cat is his usual self-centered and hilarious self in this companion volume to Here Comes the Easter Cat, Here Comes Santa Cat, and Here Comes the Tooth Fairy Cat. |
