Bandit's Surprise — Karen Rostoker-Gruber

Bandit is a happy cat. He has an owner, Michelle, who loves him, a warm blanket, minced clams for dinner, and a fuzzy toy mouse. But when Mitzi, a new kitten, moves in and messes with Bandit's stuff, Bandit feels threatened. "Paws OFF, purr-brain," he cries when Mitzi goes after Fuzzy Mouse. Will these two cats ever reach a purr-fect friendship? Bandit's cat-titude comes to life in Vincent Nguyen's vivid, retro, full-page and paneled illustrations featuring graphite pencil, ink, watercolor, and digital media.
