Read for my toddler's bedtime. A cat went out and got himself stuck in glue (but somehow the illustrations showed black glue). The cat tried to walk away but got stuck in the middle of the road. Cars zoomed past but since the cat was small, the cat was not hit. One car stopped after awhile and attempted to help. Eventually the man took the cat to a vet to get the glue off because a regular bath at home didn't do the trick. The cat was scared and all alone but luckily help arrived when it most needed. The story was good but the illustrations of the cat was a bit scary. My toddler only liked the one in bath with the duck.

Read from Amazon freebies.
