I Don't Want a Cool Cat!

By Emma Dodd (Hardcover Book, 2010)
In this hilarious, heartfelt picture book, one little girl discovers just how difficult it can be to find the perfect pet. Along the way, she meets a zany mix of cats with distinct personalities, but none of them are right for her! After a comical cat chase, she finally finds a special one to call her very own. In this follow-up to I Don't Want a Posh Dog!, Emma Dodd reminds readers that, while there are many different kinds of pets to choose from, everyone of us can find a loveable four-legged friend to share our hearts and hugs with.

With whimsical illustrations and playful rhyming text, I Don't Want a Cool Cat! demonstrates the bond people share with their favorite feline friends--the perfect read-aloud for cat lovers and their little ones.

  • Praise for I Don't Want a Posh Dog!:
    "The rhymes are clever and succinct, and the simple line art incorporates photo elements that lend the right touch of surrealism...A funny, light introduction to all the mutts in young readers' futures." --Booklist

    "The exaggerated characteristics and expressions of Dodd's dogs are giggle-inducing, while jaunty type and digitally manipulated areas of texture amp up the text's inherent energy and the dogs' personalities...Plenty of fun for dog lovers." --PW

    "The artwork is a colorful creation of mixed media, and the collage of textures pops off the pages...This title is for dog lovers everywhere." --School Library Journal

    "Dodd's catchy text and handsome art make an appealing picture book for dog lovers (and those hoping to win a pet of their own)." --New York Times Book Review

    Praise for Emma Dodd:
    Emma's unique art style and vivid colors have been called "just right for preschool audiences" by Kirkus Reviews
