Once upon a time, there was a little island in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay where there lived just as many cats as people. The Great Cat Roundup is the charming tale of a tight-knit community on an island in the Chesapeake Bay with just as many cats as people. The islanders think they have the perfect scheme to reclaim their favorite easy chairs, but Mother Nature has other plans, and everyone realizes that life is better lived together. “There are too many cats on the island,” said the shopkeeper. “I trip on them in the aisles!” “I can’t fish for crabs without finding them hiding in my boat!” said the waterman. “I can’t bake a cake without their tails getting in the flour!” said the baker. “We’ve had enough!” the islanders cried. “What can we do?” This beautifully illustrated picture book for cat lovers of all ages is written by Amy Pelsinsky and illustrated by Lisa Pupa. "Amy Pelsinsky, and Lisa Pupa have done something so stinkin' adorable with their children's book, The Great Cat Roundup. Set on an island in the Chesapeake Bay, hijinks commence with a clever plot and illustrations that are the cutest thing ever. Okay, I confess to being a biased cat lover but Lady Geneva and I definitely approve of this little treasure dedicated to the Chesapeake Bay. - Mary Kendall, author of "Campbell's Boy" "I know a LOT of people who should get this children's book. Some of them don't even have human children. They should still get it. And read it to their cats." - Mathina Calliope, editor "New children's book, The Great Cat Roundup, is the cat's meow." - Baltimore Fishbowl Cats run amok!
