About the Author
Sara Swan Miller, who passed away in 2020, lived for many years on a ridge in upstate New York, where she was the mother of two children and four stepchildren. She was a graduate of Vassar College, and received an MA in early childhood education from SUNY New Paltz. She had careers as a Montessori teacher, and as an outdoor environmental educator, before she assumed full-time writing. Sara was the author of more than 70 books for children. Among her best known works are "Three Stories You Can Read To Your Dog" and "Three Stories You Can Read To Your Cat", plus their sequels. And for children who aren't lucky enough to have pets, there is "Three Stories You Can Read To Your Teddy Bear". Some books that have been published since Sara's passing are: "Oh, Cats of Camp Rabbitbone", "At The Rabbitbone Restaurant", "Turkeys On The Train", and "I Hate M.y Stepsister! (a love story)". Besides other fiction works, there are many science-related books, especially the Animals In Order series. Sara had the ability to capture the language of children and also to imagine the "language" of animals. Her works are often very funny. Abby Liscum is a graphic designer from upstate New York. She graduated from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia with a focus in illustration and animation. She was awarded the Alan Koss Senior Portfolio Award in Graphic and Interactive Design for Motion. Her past work includes creating graphics for several grassroots activist organizations, and she enjoys experimenting with different forms of design.
True Kelley has illustrated many books for children, including Stay! Keeper's Story by Lois Lowry. She lives with children's author Steven Lindblom and their daughter, Jada, in Warner, New Hampshire.
Reviews
Shy, bold, and feisty by turns, Kelley's cat is positively purrfect as it stalks and capers its way through three episodes that depict a feline's winning ways. Pictures catch a range of emotions--from a sly stare when Kitty sees a tempting bug to a self-satisfied gleam after it has spent a wonderful day doing naughty things. Miller's stories, written using the pronominal you ("One day you [the cat] woke up early"), are funny as well as easy to read, making them great for new chapter-book readers, especially ones who have cats to cozy up with.
