Publisher's Synopsis
"Cleverly conceived and executed. . . . Enhanced by the wacky collage pictures. . . . A very funny story that kids will want to read again and again." - Booklist (starred review)
A glamorous life in the lap of luxury- like that of Pierre the chinchilla-would be very nice. But really, our hero's not that fussy-he just wants to belong to somebody. With his cute, pointy brown face and beady eyes, why can't he get anyone to take him home? Even a notice posted at the local pet store seems fruitless, until one day a nearsighted man stops in and speaks the amazing words "I'll take him." After all, he says, he's been looking for ages for a brown cat as nice as this. In a tour de force, acclaimed author-illustrator Lauren Child presents a surprisingly endearing character-and assures young readers that there's enough love for all of us.
