Synopsis

With the purrfect blend of humor and heart, celebrate the wacky and wonderful things about life with children in THE TROUBLE WITH CHILDREN (ACCORDING TO CAT)!

The family cat has a LOT to get off her chest. Life with children can be . . . challenging. Between their loud shrieks, dress-up games, and bath-time nonsense, she can’t take any more of these little ones!

Except . . . she might have overlooked a few things, like gentle cuddles, catnip, and cozy story times. Is it possible they're not so bad after all?

From award-winning, best-selling duo Katie Weaver and Caner Soylu comes a hilarious, must-have audiobook that celebrates the joyful chaos of kids.

Goodreads review by Stephanie on September 21, 2025
