CIP Info A cat answers a young child's questions about such things as how much and where it sleeps, and whether or not it likes living with people. This is such an awesome book. Clearly Kuskin is a cat owner. A little boy wants to know all about his pet cat’s day. The text has a great rhythm. It also has a rhyme to it. Now generally when there is a rhyme it can get a little annoying. This was so subtle that I had to read it twice to notice the rhyme. It was so good that I added an unprecedented fourth reading. I even read it to the cats.
