A feisty kitty goes on a wild, riotous chase!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A rambunctious kitty wakes up with a mission: he is going to finally catch his tail! Through mountains of toilet paper, under the covers, into the laundry basket (with a quick stop at the litter box), and beyond, the tireless kitty continues his never-ending chase until the unexpected motive for his mission is revealed.

Debut author and illustrator Jimbo Matison uses his bright, lively illustrations and minimal text to tell a raucous story full of classic "cat humour" and high jinks that will leave young readers (and cat lovers of all ages) laughing out loud.

I'm Going to Catch My Tail! is sure to delight anyone who has ever marvelled at the antics of a playful kitten.
