"One day Jeremy the cat wakes up at the vet to find a cone has been fastened around his neck. It bends his whiskers and bungles his super-cat sense. After attempting several fruitless escape maneuvers, he dejectedly accepts his new role: he is Cone Cat now. But when by a happy accident he discovers that his cone is perfect for tipping the breakfast bowl so that the milk and cereal pours right into his mouth (and stores leftovers for later), he realizes that the cone just might be a friend after all. And as it turns out, it's useful for lots of things! Like hiding the stuffing he rips out of the couch, trapping spiders on the wall, super hearing so he knows when to hide from the little human, and--best of all--stealing an ice cream scoop at a birthday party when he realizes he can disguise his cone as one of the kid's bowls. It's his very own superpower. The next day, the humans take the cone away and, just like that, he's free! But at a cost--even though Jeremy has the freedom to return to his old tricks, he wonders if it will ever be the same as his glory days with the cone. It doesn't take him too long to find out. While chasing a fly, Jeremy knocks a potted tree in the living room and tumbles down with it, landing himself back in the cone--and in a paw cast."--… (more)

Poor Jeremy, our grumpy little cat on the cover, has to wet a cone when he comes home from the vet's. He decides to call himself "Cone Cat" because he can't get the cone off his head! This story is all about his adventures with the cone on his head.

This is a sweet, little story book for your little ones. It's cute, fun and an easy read. It has goofy shenanigans of our friend Jeremy trying to learn how to deal with the cone on his head.

There isn't much education in this book, but it was still a sweet story and it had a plot. At least it was fun and cute! It's something that I can see animal lovers flocking to.

I like the illustrations in this book. It's rough yet pretty all at the same time. It's simplistic yet super fitting for the story. For me, it made the story stand out and look absolutely great!

Overall, I think this book is a great addition to any picture book shelf.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and OwlKids for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ( )
