Description of “Why Can’t My Brother Be More Like My Cat?”
Little girls love their cats. But when it comes to their brothers, they have two reactions: Either they adore them—or want to trade them for a more refined sibling, one who’s less embarrassing, more sympatico, and, well, more “cat-like.” In this fanciful rhymed book, with can’t-stop-looking-at-it art by New York Times bestselling illustrator Lee Wildish, a little girl stacks up her cat’s fine points with her brother’s—and the cat always comes out ahead. Or does he? Find out in this meow-vel-ous-I-can’t-stop-smiling book that will have cat lovers of all ages wanting to read it over and over again.
