From the publisher

In this laugh-out-loud picture book that’s purr-fect for fans of Adam Rubin and James Marshall, a girl tries to convince her parents that their cat is really an undercover spy. But when things don’t quite go as planned, hilarious hijinks and plenty of feline fun ensue. “With his droll drawings, Daniel J. Mahoney takes secret agenthood into whole new realms.” –Caldecott Medal winner Paul O. Zelinsky Samantha knows her cat, Walter, is anything but ordinary–he’s a secret agent with the very serious codename Kitty Pants. Unfortunately, no one else appreciates Walter’s superspy-ness. Samantha’s parents think he’s nothing more than your average pet. It’s up to Walter to convince them otherwise. Operation Kitty Pants is a go. But will this undercover feline prove his impressive espionage skills battling foes, including a butt-sniffing pup, a wild-haired kitty, and a band of mischievous mice, or will he find his missions compromised? With Samantha’s help, perhaps Walter can show that there’s a bit of secret agent in all of us. From Daniel J. Mahoney, the author-illustrator of We Don’t Eat Our Neighbors, My Cat Is a Secret Agent is a rollicking read-aloud for pet lovers and pet-free families alike–ideal for storytime in the classroom or at home.
