For fans of The Book Hog and The Leaf Thief comes a zany, fun picture book about a cat on a mission to find the perfect lap.

Lap Cat is on a quest to find the warmest, softest, most comfortable lap around Mellsville. They search high and low, in parks and diners, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. With everyone in town mad at their actions, will Lap Cat be able to see past their own desires and make up for the messes they’ve made?    

Author-illustrator Joren Cull has crafted both a hilarious adventure and a thoughtful lesson in being mindful of how your actions affect others.

Praise for Lap Cat

Praise for Lap Cat!

"Candy-colored drawings have a contemporary style that keeps the offbeat tale’s twists and turns moving."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Cull’s latest combines childlike cartoon humor with a medieval style and tone, resulting in comedic gold...A rousing, rib-tickling tale."—Kirkus Reviews

"Lap Cat’s self-important and self-absorbed behavior provides much of the humor and is ably assisted by the deadpan third-person narrator... The lively pages are busy with oddball details but not overcrowded—there’s lots to discover on repeat readings."—The Horn Book Magazine
