"Funny, vibrant, and surprisingly tender—in short, everything a good friendship should be." - Kirkus (starred review)
A humorous and touching tale of the unexpected friendship that blossoms between a peaceful skeleton and a persistent cat. Told in five short and charming stories that will remind you of Frog and Toad.
Skeleton lives alone in lonesome bliss. She reads books, drinks tea, and tends to her garden. It's simple and peaceful. Until, one day, a cat knocks on Skeleton's door...
"Can I come in?" asks the Cat.
Readers and cat lovers of all ages will adore this surprising duo who is sure to convince you that skeletons are gardeners, cats tell good-ish jokes, and, together, they make the best of friends.
