Book Description:

Meet Pepper and Boo. They are two dogs who do not know much about cats. (Who does?) They wonder why the cat sleeps so much (in their beds!), licks itself so much, what the cat is thinking, and what makes the cat happy.

Luckily, the cat can explain. The cat knows a lot about being a cat. They know a cat will sleep anywhere (a box, a keyboard, a sink, and Boo’s bed) and any time of day. They know what cats like and do not like to eat. They also know that although they are different, they’re happy to have housemates like Pepper and Boo.

Review:

We have a cat, and of all the “about cats” books we’ve read, this little easy reader was the best. It gets the true nature of cats in such a short little book, with funny pictures and cat/dog antics, and humor. Great early reader choice!
