Skeleton lives alone and likes it that way. She reads, she drinks tea, she tends a garden, and the days pass quietly. Then a cat knocks at the door, and keeps knocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cat tells jokes that are not quite jokes, has opinions about how a sandwich should be eaten, and declines to take a hint. What builds across the five stories is the particular comedy of one character who wants to be left alone and another who has decided otherwise, handled with the deadpan timing of Frog and Toad and a warmth that sneaks up by the last chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott is an animator and illustrator based in Ontario, and the book grew out of his Dead Cat drawing series. It won six starred reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eAges 4 to 8\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46173114073135,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/TheSkeletonAndTheCat-1.jpg?v=1789574489","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/the-skeleton-and-the-cat","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
