Farty Marty

What do you do with a musical cat who becomes a national sensation? Find out in this humorous read-aloud picture book debut illustrated by beloved artist Steven Kellogg.

Mary Jane Lemon knows that her cat is special--and she finds out exactly how special when one day, after mistakenly eating a bag of French cheese, unusual tweets and toots come out of--not his mouth--but you know where! It turns out that, depending on what he eats, Marty's rump spews music of all kinds, and his compositions prove amazingly popular. He is catapulted to fame and a world tour soon follows from London to Shanghai, and before long Marty's tunes top the bestseller charts!

With playful text on a favorite funny topic and whimsical illustrations in Steven Kellogg's trademark style, Farty Marty is a book to enjoy again and again!
