Reviews

I saw the "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" DVD at work and randomly remembered I had this Little Golden Book parody as a child, so I looked it up on Open Library. The storyline is rather silly, but it's a cute, harmless little book about a kitten with a big imagination.

Great play on words for this title

I loved this book as a kid, and just typed it in to test the comprehensiveness of the goodreads search engine. I'm impressed.
