Book Overview

by Matthew Burgess (Author), Robin Rosenthal (Illustrator)

This purr-fectly adorable picture book introduces an irresistibly over-the-top new kitty character who's ready to make a big splash!

Meet Serafina! If there's one thing you should know about Serafina, it's that she absolutely, positively HATES water. Running faucets, rain, or the sea? No thank you. So even though she looks fantastic in goggles, Serafina is NOT happy to be forced into a swim class by the powers that be. NOTHING can convince her to get into that disgusting pit of seething water. Nothing, that is, except maybe a very beloved old friend who needs a hand.

From acclaimed creators Matthew Burgess and Robin Rosenthal comes an unforgettable picture book that shows how trying new things can lead to unexpected joy.
