Cone Cat

"""Anyone who has ever had a pet in ""the cone of shame"" will appreciate this silly story.""-- ""Youth Services Book Review"" ""Jeremy and his Cone friend are awfully funny! ... It is an imaginative look for a silver lining to a humiliating situation for the cat.""-- ""Kiss the Book"" ""Jeremy is an Everycat's cat, prone to sulky faces, yogi-esque licking, and couch-clawing... [his] discovery that his hated cone might have its benefits is a casual lesson in making the best of a bad situation.""-- ""Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"" ""Readers will find it hard to resist the prickly charms of this expressive sourpuss.""-- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""The morals of adapting to change and making the best of a bad situation are sure to resonate with all young readers.""-- ""School Library Journal"" ""This amusing, essentially one-joke tale should resonate with cat-loving kids and families.""-- ""Kirkus Reviews"" ""Cone Cat is not preachy in any way, but it could lead to some interesting conversations about how not everything that seems bad has to be bad... Cone Cat is a delight.""-- ""Canadian Review of Materials"" ""Here's a worthy companion for Nick Bruel's Bad Kitty, Jack Gantos' Rotten Ralph, and other perversely lovable feline bad behavers.""-- ""Booklist"" ""Funny depictions of a cat and his cone. One day a nimble and free-roaming cat; the next, caught in the cone of shame. Or is it such a shame? Leftover milk and cereal are much more tippable with a head cone and when the person with the ice cream scoop is a little preoccupied, a cat in a cone is in a perfect position for dessert! And spiders are much easier to corral for a first taste (but maybe that was best left as an experiment for others). Cone Cat was really fun!""-- ""René Kirkpatrick, University Book Store, Seattle WA"""
