This is a sweet book about pet adoption from the perspective of the cat. I especially love the illustrations. The artist (who's also the author!) used a limited color palette. It's something I like to play around with and it's done here perfectly.

If you’re looking for books that play with your perception of reality while leaving you in stitches, then these two books by Rob Gotobed are an absolute must-read. The collections of short stories are as funny as they are intellectually engaging, with humour that’s both surreal and cerebral.
