Publisher Description: Children can come up with some pretty funny questions! Here in this warm and amusing story, Grandpa teases his granddaughters with some very unusual answers. The girls are spending time with Grandpa and his cats, and reject all his silly answers until one of them comes up with an idea that even Grandpa could not think of. This is a story that amuses and entertains grandparents and grandchildren alike. When a young girl asks her grandfather why cats have tails, his teasing responses provoke some thoughtful replies. Good for a nursery bedtime story with parents or grandparents. --Kirkus Reviews (U.S.) Children will love reading about their favorite animals, while adults can use the book as the perfect opportunity to practice predicting during a read-aloud.
