Bruno, the Standing Cat

When a box arrives on Peter’s doorstep, he opens it to find Bruno, a cat who is standing up on two legs. It is very odd. Bruno likes to chew bubble gum, play house, and skateboard—and refuses to engage in any catlike behavior. But Peter likes Bruno, and so they become friends and do everything they can think of together.

Meet a silly and absurd cat who’s like no cat you’ve ever met before, in this inventive and unusual book.
