When Cats Go Wrong

By Norm Hacking

Book Overview

When Cats Go Wrong is more than just another cat book. Written to the tune of a tango, Norm Hacking's song provides the perfect framework for a spirited look at life with a wicked cat. When a young boy comes across a stray cat on the street, he brings it home to his mother and begs her to keep it. She agrees, warning him that if the cat gets in any trouble, out he goes. Her words prove prophetic as Hell Kitty dips his paws into the goldfish bowl, sharpens his claws on the couch, and snacks on the butter. What to do? The author's witty rhyming text and Cynthia Nugent's vibrant illustrations based on French dance hall posters give energy and life to this captivating tale.

Fun and Educational Story for Kids

This is a cute, funny story to share with your kids, or any other little ones in your life. Most people (especially cat owners) will get a kick out of the antics of this cat, and the anxiety those antics produce in his owner, a little boy who's trying to keep those antics hidden. Comes with musical CD, so you can "sing" along with the words to the book. Gives kids, especially the young ones, both the reading and the musical stimulation so valuable in young life. And fun for adults, too.

When Cats Go Wrong is Addictive

My daughter gave this book to me as part of a Christmas gift. The tune on the CD is catchy and humorous. My three year old grand daughter loves it. The singing is different than she has experienced and that, together with the tango beat, has fascinated her. Nice to follow along with the pictures and words as you listen to the CD, so more dimensions. Beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors.
