by Beverly Cleary, Alan Tiegreen
Loved Socks, but the Brickers were the worst cat parents ever. Hated them and their stupid baby. Loathsome book.
This was one of my favorite books as a child, and I'm delighted beyond words that I can still enjoy it re-reading it as an adult.Socks's cat personality is just so fantastically spot on. Everything from the tail curving into a question mark to the need to teach his humans lessons about allowing him...
Not the best Cleary book, and I found the story very offensive to the treatment of animals.
This book made me bawl my eyes out as a child. Loved it.
