    A hiss-terical new picture book from powerhouse creator, Maddie Frost that answers the question: how many cats is too many cats?

    Every weekend Bea goes to visit her grandmother, and Granny treats her to an afternoon of special things, like going to the movies and shopping. Bea is always sad to leave at the end of the weekend because she worries that Granny will be lonely without her.

    So Bea comes up with a plan to keep Granny company during the week: a cat! Granny is a little confused because she doesn't remember mentioning that she likes cats, so she asummes that Bea must want a cat around when she visits. And in doting grandmother fashion, “what’s better than one cat?” she reasons—more cats!

    Suddenly Granny's apartment is overcrowded, smelly, and worst of all--the cats tear apart Bea's stuffed animal. It's a pure CATastrophe and Bea has got to put a stop to it to get her special weekends with Granny back.

    Maddie Frost's new picture book is a hilarious set of miscommunications but will remind readers that good old-fashioned quality time is the purrfect way to show your loved ones that they're more than enough.
    Praise for Cats on Cats on Cats by Maddie Frost:

    "A giggle-filled story about the importance of expressing our true feelings and asking rather than assuming . . . great fun for the SEL shelves."—School Library Journal

    "A simple misunderstanding multiplies into a ‘cat-astrophe’ in Frost’s laugh-out-loud picture book . . . Frost’s art and plotting amps up the humor on each page of this well-paced comedy."—Publisher’s Weekly

    "This is an easygoing story about good intentions gone awry and about learning to say what you mean, even when you think you may hurt a loved one’s feelings."—Horn Book

    "Cats on Cats on Cats is a sweet story about miscommunication, which highlights the importance of sharing your true feelings with people you care about... With its endless cat illustrations and its acknowledgment that you can have too many kitties, this comical read is sure to delight both cat and dog lovers."—Booklist Online

    "For lovers of cats, grandmas, and shenanigans alike, this is an equally rewarding read-aloud or read-alone. A gleefully goofy family story." —Kirkus Reviews
    Maddie Frost is the creator of the Wombats! early-reader graphic novels and picture books that include Bear in a Bathrobe and Shared Space. This story was inspired by her own granny, who always called her “chickadee.” Maddie lives in Massachusetts with her family. She’s a dog person.
