""Both children and adults with roar with laughter.""—School Library Journal

Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary charms readers with yet another lovable character—Socks, a jealous cat who must learn to share his owners with their new baby.

Socks is one happy cat. He lives the good life with his affectionate owners, Mr. and Mrs. Bricker. Ever since the day they saved him from a life spent in a mailbox drop slot, Socks has been the center of their world. And he always has everything he needs—tasty kitty treats and all the lap room he could want!

But when a new baby arrives, suddenly the Brickers have less and less time for Socks. Little Charles William is the one getting all the attention. Socks feels left out—and to show it, he starts getting into all sorts of trouble! What will it take to make Socks realize just how much the Brickers care about him?

Told from the kitty's point of view, Beverly Cleary really nailed the thoughts and emotions of a cat. Perfect for children with pets in the family, because by revealing that animals can have similar feelings, it helps them develop empathy for their furry friends. My guilty secret? I have to admit that, as a cat person, I love it too.

Great for kids or cat owners

5 stars. We laughed out loud. A classic with wonderful narration. Kids aged 6 and 8 listen to it over and over again.

Any additional comments?

The adults liked this one, but the 5 and 7 year old got bored!

Sweet but slow story

I just love that the story is about when you get an younger brother, or sis, you feel left out and alone. Yet, you are always in the middle. You. You are in the fun.

Very GOOD

Beverly Cleary's story is fantastic, that's a given. Neal Patrick Harris takes it to another level with his narration. Such a fun heartfelt book!

A Masterpiece!
