Written by Davide Calì
Illustrated by Anna Pirolli
Ginger is the weird one. She plays with peas, purrs at artichokes, and has a strange fondness for chicken (but only the neighbor’s chicken).
Then there’s Fred. His greatest talent? Sleeping. Oh, and hiding.
And when he’s not hiding, he’s conspiring with Ginger to destroy the house! Such is life with cats. . . can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em—if you love them, that is.
This humorous picture book about a cat owner and his beguiling felines celebrates quirky cat companions, impurrfections and all.

“International picture-book author Cali pens a simple story every cat’s human will recognize. However, it’s Italian debut illustrator Pirolli’s perfect portrayals of pussycats that charm from every page. Both cat expressions and the lines of their bodies are flawless. The interplay between textual narrative and illustrations is a primer in visual irony, so deadpan that children may need a few runs through to get it. Just about any human owned by a cat would appreciate this as a gift.” —Kirkus Starred Review
