Banjo: Daddy Tim wanted to share one of his favorite series of books with us. He said it had a cat in it, so of course we were interested. Bubble: He knew I would love it because she is a beautiful orange tabby cat. He was right even though she is an old lady cat. Banjo: I loved it too! I didn't like it just because of the color of the cat; I liked the story. |
Banjo: We should talk about the book.
Bubble: I thought we were.
Banjo: No, we were talking about you.
Bubble: And how much I liked the book. Isn't that what a book recommendation is?
Banjo: That's part, you have to tell the people, humans and cats, what the book is about so they'll want to read it. You know that. You've been helping Daddy Tim write his book blog since he has been working on his book.
Bubble: Right! I'll start. Mr. Putter is an old human who has a very pretty lady cat named Tabby. Apparently, they do lots together that is interesting enough to be in books. I should be in books. I play volleyball and take care of Pink Baby and can I can completely disappear when I hide behind the curtain in the torture chamber.
{Daddy Tim editorial note: I just discovered that cats can roll their eyes. Banjo just rolled his}.
Banjo: Yes, fine Bubble. You are the most interesting cat in the world...The BOOK is about Mr Putter and Tabby in the Autumn. They go out in their back yard and see all the juicy pears on the tree and Mr Putter wants to pick them.
Bubble: Do we have pears?
Banjo: No we have a Lilac. You can't eat that.
Bubble: Oh yeah? Well, I think you should know that I HAVE eaten the Lilac.
Banjo: That explains the brain damage.
Daddy Tim: Hey! You two need to talk about the book and stop fighting! Bubble, what happens when they get outside and try to pick the pears?
Bubble: Mr Putter's knees are too old to get up the ladder.
Banjo: So he makes a slingshot to shoot them out of the tree. He picks up apples from his other tree (Can I just say that humans eat some weird stuff? Apples and Pears! Really?) and shoots them with his slingshot at the pears.
Bubble: But he keeps missing the pears...and then he runs out of apples.
Banjo: Poor Mr Putter. He doesn't have any apples or pears. Bubble: Does he have tuna? Banjo: I don't think humans eat tuna. Ours don't. I am sure his good-food-box is full of tofu...he could have eaten that, but that's not the story! Bubble: Right. All those apples sailed over the fence and into his neighbor's yard. Banjo: Mrs. Teaberry is a much nicer neighbor than Buddy the Beagle. Bubble: Yeah, Buddy has never made apple pies for us! Banjo: I don't think he has thumbs either. Dogs can't work an oven...besides he's so dumb he barks at the wind. Bubble: Yes, but he smells interesting. Banjo: Sniffing everything is going to get you in trouble someday! Don't smell dogs! Bubble: It was only through the fence-- Daddy Tim: Hey! Guys, the BOOK? Banjo: Right. Mrs. Teaberry, Mr Putter's neighbor used all the apples he accidentally shot over their fence to make him pies and juice and tarts...He liked that. Bubble: Tabby did too...but I think that was made up. Cats don't eat tarts (unless they have tuna in them...or mousies). Banjo: Anyway, Now Mr Putter and Tabby are going to wait for the pears to fall and then shoot them over the fence. That is funny. I like this story and I think little humans just learning to read would too. Bubble: Me too. I give this four and a half treats. |
Bubble: Does that mean it gets nine? Nine out of five?
Banjo: You are such a blonde girl cat. Here's a Tip for CaCHups: Don't let your Daddies adopt a blonde girl cat.
{Daddy Tim editorial note: I have to go break up the cat fight in the front room. See you next time! Happy reading :-) }
