This one had my kids cracking up - including the 15 year olds that I teach! Dav Pilkey tells a wonderful tale of taking care of a cat - including the cat's "smelly problem". Dragon's interpretation of "litter box", as well as his unique system for naming cats provides many laughs. There are lots of little eyecatchers in Pilkey's fantastic illustrations - look for pig-tail bait, and van Gogh's Starry Night, and the crumpled fender (from Dragon Gets By).

This early chapter book was given to my son by his preschool teacher as a reward for potty training. He was thrilled because it was his first chapter book which meant that he was one of the big boys. That was three years ago and it is still his favorite book to read. The chapters are short enough that you can read the entire book to children before bedtime. It's funny, well written and wonderfully illustrated - the best book he has out of a collection of at least 50 books. I am in the process of trying to find the entire series for him. Definety a don't miss!
