Bookroo's summary
Nick loves books and his cats, Verne and Stevenson. He decides to teach them to read, but only Verne shows interest, drawn to words like MOUSE and FISH. Stevenson, however, remains aloof, hiding under the porch. As Nick and Verne explore the library, Nick wonders if he can ever share his passion for reading with Stevenson. Will he find a way to engage his elusive feline friend, or is Stevenson hiding a secret interest? This charming tale explores the joys and challenges of sharing what you love with those you care about.
From the publisher
When Nick decides to teach his cats to read, Verne is very much interested, especially in books about mice and fish, but Stevenson wants nothing to do with the project–or does he?
