Summary:
Mr. Twiddles the cat can’t think of anything more upsetting than a noisy, fussy stranger poking around his quiet, happy house. Then he finds out that Clara the cleaning lady can talk to him and she hears what he’s saying, too! Can Mr. Twiddles get Clara out of his way and out of his house? Or will Clara’s Very Special Powers help her prove to Mr. Twiddles that she can be this cranky cat’s new friend? Find out where this funny, delightful adventure will end!
My Review:
What a cute story about a protective cat named Mr. Twiddles. I could relate and was laughing while reading this story, as my 3 dogs think they each own the house, and when guests come to visit, they make it known that this is their house and the guests are not welcome. Follow along with the cutely illustrated book as Mr. Twiddles meets Clara, the cleaning lady, and how he tries everything in his powers to get rid of her. But, in the end, a simple gesture of hand vacuuming his favorite chair forms a bond between them and they become friends.
This is a great book to read to your child if they are pet or cat lovers.
