The Fireside Grown-Up Guide to the Cat
The Fireside Grown-Up Guide to the Cat | Jason Hazeley, Joel Morris
7 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
The international publishing phenomenon and ridiculously funny new parody series that helps grown-ups learn about the world around them using large clear type, simple and easy-to-grasp words, frequent repetition, and thoughtful matching of text with pictures. Have you been having trouble with the How, Why, and Wheres? Well fear no more. The Fireside Grown-Up Guide series understands that the world is just as confusing to a forty-year-old as it is to a four-year-old. Were here to help and break down the most pressing and complex issues of our day into easy-to-digest pieces of information paired with vivid illustrations even a child could understand. Some people may say that dogs are mans best friend, but a pet cat can be the purr-fect companion. Like a cuddly toy, they are warm, fluffy, and do nothing to return their owners affection. In The Fireside Grown-Up Guide to the Cat, well learn all about our feline friends, like what their favorite activities are (cats love to hunt and dismember their prey, especially important documents and valued possessions) and the reason they have nine lives (they sleep so much that they need nine to get anything done).

I'm sure many Littens have experienced this. 😹😹😹 Also, it's true that humans have evolved to serve many kinds of cat food. 😸 Thanks again, @LeahBergen 😺

LeahBergen This book gave me quite a few good laughs. 😆 7y

Look at the wonderful #bookmail I got from @LeahBergen ! The most adorable vintage Ladybird book about kittens (I hope it'll encourage my cats to do housework. ?) Also, two lovely bookmarks—a "magic carpet" and a handmade miniature Anne of Green Gables. ❤️ the Oz card, and Nicky ❤️ the tagged book, but he obviously thinks he should be the cover boy! ? Thanks so much for a fun, fabulous feline surprise package! ?

Tamra 😻😻 7y
Bette Nicky looks REALLY interested in the witch's feet! 😂. ❤️🐱 7y
Jinjer He wants that miniature book! So cute! 7y

Mehso-so

Read this in Kindle app. The pictures weren't always a solid image. I expected that. Many of the things spoken of in this kind-of-really-cute guide needed the picture. I didn't expect that. I still got the gist and enjoyed it. The part about Elton John made me giggle, and most the things they say about cats are true, maybe not so dramatic. Haha. I would recommend it to people thinking of buying a cat.
