Eric Gurney

Cats are a proud lot. The pages of history overflow with their heroic deeds. They're aloof, independent...calculating, clever little thinkers who usually wind up owning their owners. You can't outwit them...but at least you can learn to hold your own. Eric Gurney tells you how in this most entertaining animal book.

Scorned by his new dog friends because he never learned to dig, Sam suddenly discovers his inherent dog talten and turns the countryside into a series of ruts and holes.

Six stories for beginning readers.
