Here Comes Teacher Cat



Cat is not pleased to be tapped as substitute teacher. Not only is it cutting into his naptime, but a roomful of kittens is a little, well, terrifying. Still, off to school he goes, where, faced with six adorable kittens, he follows the lesson plan--music, building, painting--but in pure, mischievous, unadulterated Cat style. By the end, he and the kittens have formed a rock band, built a fish-spewing fountain, covered the classroom in blue, yellow, and red paint, and Cat has learned a thing or two about inspiring others by being himself. But even more heart-melting is what the kittens have learned from Cat.

It’s back to school for the New York Times bestselling Cat when he steps in as a substitute teacher. 
 
Cat is not pleased to be tapped as substitute teacher. Not only is it cutting into his naptime, but a roomful of kittens is a little . . . much. At school, Cat follows the lesson plan of music, building, and painting—only in gradually more mischief-making Cat style. By the end, Cat has learned a thing or two about inspiring others by being himself. But even more heart-melting and humorous is what these adorable kittens have learned from Cat.

Read it for back-to-school and year-round—great as a holiday or year-end teacher's gift!
