When the Silliest Cat Was Small

A companion to the breakout hit My Cat, the Silliest Cat in the World, chronicling the silliest cat’s younger years

The only thing cuter than a cat is a kitten, and the only thing cuter than a kitten is Gilles Bachelet’s remarkable kitten—who is actually an enormous elephant!

After being chosen from a litter of other brightly colored elephants, Gilles’s kitten must acclimate himself to his new home. Just like in the first book, the kitten behaves like a kitten should: making a mess, hiding from his food bowl, and waging a war with a particularly tricky stuffed animal. Readers will fall in love again with Bachelet’s funny and affectionate drawings of his highly unusual “cat.”
