The Christmas CATastrophe!

About the Book

Chloe is a very special shelter cat that gets a new forever home for Christmas, with Anja, a 7-year old girl, and her loving parents. Chloe’s curiosity creates a bit of mischief, and the hijinks and CATastrophes she gets into present many challenges for her new family, and the rest of the neighborhood, during the holidays. The hand-drawn artwork is vibrant and playful, and draws you into Anja and Chloe’s world. Be on the lookout for other books in the CATastrophe series so you can follow Chloe’s continued curiosity, playfulness, and misadventures.
