Perfect Nest

Description

It s the perfect read-aloud! A flustered cat is on the verge of crying fowl in a farmyard story that will crack kids up. Jack the cat is building the perfect nest. It s bound to attract the perfect chicken, who will lay the perfect egg, which will make the perfect omelet. And sure enough, a chicken shows up (" Caramba!"), but so do a duck ("Sacre bleu!") and a goose ("Great balls of fire!"). Feathers get ruffled and Jack gets much more than breakfast in a funny tale rich in detail with a sweet final twist."
