Description

Cats and birds cant be friends! They have absolutely nothing in common. After all, cats are supposed to eat birds, not play with them!

But theres something special about this prey-and-predator pair...and they may just find that its our differences that bring us closer together.

In a delightful picture book filled with pleasing banter and hilarious quips, rising talent Coll Muir creates the perfect unlikely friendship between unexpected creatures.

Perfect for fans of Jon Klassens I Want My Hat Back, ThisIs Not My Hat, and We Found a Hat.

Reviews

Muirs visually playful and astute volume suggests that no matter the species, becoming friends takes worka delicate blend of thinly veiled negotiations and leaps of faith, with a soupon of the serendipitous. Publishers Weekly Simple but effective, this book will appeal to little listeners who are themselves figuring out how to approach new friends, though it could certainly work for older (even grown-up) readers, too. Booklist The speech-only text, repetition, and spare, funny prose make this a treat for beginning readers, but picture-book audiences will relish the goofy friendship story as well. Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books This hits the sweet spot for dry humor thats still kid accessible... Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books Interesting take on teaching young children to be friends, even with those most unlikely. School Library Journal A lovely addition to any public library.
