Cat Problems

 
　　美國凱迪克大獎得主藍．史密斯（Lane Smith）及懷特朗讀繪本獎銀獎得主喬里‧約翰（Jory John），繼攻佔各大暢銷榜、席捲各國年度選書《好煩好煩的小企鵝》Penguin Problems、《好煩好煩的長頸鹿》Giraffe Problems，再度攜手推出絕妙新作！這一次，受寵的家貓在2位重量級創作者筆下會有什麼煩惱呢？
 
　　小黑貓每天睡19個小時，醒來就有專為他準備好的食物可享用，日子看起來舒適無憂，但他表示：「才不咧！我可是每天都碰到一堆煩人問題！」陽光常常不能如他所願照在他的正上方、另一隻貓超煩，總是佔據他最愛窩著的地點、食物完全不能讓他滿意、房間充滿各式誘惑、還不時遇到惱人的吸塵器怪獸突擊....最後在窗外出現的不速之客松鼠，能讓小黑貓獲得救贖嗎？

　　What could a pampered house cat possibly have to complain about? This latest collaboration from picture book superstars--and cat devotees--Lane Smith and Jory John brings with it a hilarious set of feline problems!

　　Just like most cats, this cat lives an extremely comfortable life. But he has his problems too!

　　The sun spot he's trying to bathe in won't stop moving. He keeps getting served dry food instead of wet. And don't even get him started on the vacuum--it's an absolute menace!--and the nosy neighbor squirrel that just can't seem to mind its own business. Will this cat ever find the silver lining?

　　Jory John and Lane Smith once again air their grievances in this must-have companion book to Penguin Problems and Giraffe Problems.
