From the publisher

Poor Puss. His lazy life at the mill has changed overnight. The miller’s son, Tom, is ready to abandon Puss in the woods. But Puss has a few ideas about his and Tom’s fate. He slips on a pair of boots, hoists a sack over his shoulder, and sets off to find the creature comforts he knows they deserve. This simple retelling of the classic fairy tale is purrfect for newly independent readers.
