Frankie Works the Night Shift

Illustrated by Jennifer Taylor.

While his family sleeps, Frankie the cat patrols the hardware store. He thinks he's helping out: he empties one garbage can (by knocking it over), cleans two counters (by sliding down them), calls three meetings (with the yowling alley cats), and more, until ten voices yell to BE QUIET.

But when Frankie spies a mouse intruder, his family is glad to have him around to chase it out, even if it does make a mess. Acclaimed author Lisa Westberg Peters presents a spirited character and inventive counting story. Jennifer Taylor's imaginative, incredibly detailed artwork make this cat and his energetic caper simply unforgettable.
