There are slinky cats and stinky cats; gray cats and stray cats...but all the cats have one thing in common—they love to sing. Mreow!

Cat after cat makes its way over a fence and into the backyard of a lady who’s looking for a little quiet time to enjoy some music. This Step 1 reader and companion to Too Many Dogs brings a fun, rhyming text together with bright, humorous artwork in a book that will be irresistible to cat lovers.

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhyme and rhythmic text are employed with some decodable words and sight words.
