I stumbled upon a copy of this book at my local library used book sale and bought it out of pure nostalgia. i had this book as a young child and loved it. It is a silly story about a cat who gets all her mother's instructions mixed up because of the pot on her head. I read it to my preschool daughter who thought it was HILARIOUS! And I love the name of the pot-headed cat: Bendomolena.

this was my favorite book when i was a little kid. my great aunt would read it to me, and EVERY time i would laugh so hard even though i had heard the story a million times. not sure if it is even still in print, but its a total classic.
