    Grab the can opener and curl up in the sun with this hilarious collection of cat poems, from the creator of The Smell of Wet Dog.

    Can we talk about the litter box? 
    You can smell that stench for blocks and blocks 
    If your bathroom had that stink 
    You’d clean it up, that’s what I think!

    It’s the cat’s world, and we’re all just living in it. From furniture shredding to warm laundry hamper naps, stinky litter boxes to sandpapery kisses, true cat lovers know the frustrations and joys are really all one and the same.  

    Tuna Breath sends up the many quirks of our favorite self-domesticated overlords, from the things we wish they'd dial down to the reasons we have to love them anyway. Barney Saltzberg’s zany-adorable illustrations appear throughout, adding panache to uproarious feline free verse.  

    Feel like someone’s missing? Don’t miss The Smell of Wet Dog, also available now.
    Barney Saltzberg is the bestselling author of over 40 books for children, including The Smell of Wet Dog, One of These is Not Like the Others, Hug This Book, Beautiful Oops! and the Animal Kisses series, with over 800,000 copies in print. He has also recorded four albums of songs for children. He lives in Los Angeles.
