Laverne hates it when Frank wakes her up EARLY in the morning. She prefers a more refined lifestyle of napping, kneading her cat bed, and scorning humans’ ridiculous behavior. As much as Frank loves her, the deadpan Laverne loathes Frank. She dreams of sending him away forever and claiming his fish-shaped chew toy for herself. But whatever would the neighborhood do without Frank there to wake them up every morning? Without him to protect them from the greyhound next door? Read Frank's Story for HIS side of the story! Both pets report their perspectives separately, from opposite ends of the book, until the story comes to a head in the middle with a single encounter Frank and Laverne perceive in very different ways.
