Cuando un nuevo gatito se une a la familia, ¿será que el gato mayor dueño de todo podrá compartir su sillón y (casi) todo lo demás? “Yo, Osvaldo Minklehoff Conejito Meloso III, soy el dueño de este sillón. Puedes mirarlo y caminar por su lado, pero no puedes sentarte en él porque yo soy el dueño de este sillón y punto”. Osvaldo Minklehoff Conejito Meloso III siempre ha sido el dueño de todo. Luego llega el gatito Pompón y, de pronto, Osvaldo ya no es el dueño de todo: ni del papel higiénico, ni del plato de comida, ni de la puerta trasera, ni del ratón de juguete, ¡ni siquiera de su sillón favorito! ¿Se dará cuenta Osvaldo de que la vida es más divertida cuando tienes un amigo y de que, en realidad, en el sillón caben ambos de sobra? Un divertido libro ilustrado con un mensaje reconfortante para todos los niños y niñas con nuevos hermanitos.When a new kitten joins the family, can a top cat learn to share his chair—and (almost) everything else, too? “I, Oswald Minklehoff Honey Bunny III, am the boss of this chair. You may look at it, and you may walk by it, but you may not sit in it. Because I am the boss of this chair, and that’s that.” Oswald Minklehoff Honey Bunny III has always been top cat. Then Pom Pom the kitten comes along and suddenly Oswald isn’t the boss of everything anymore—not the toilet paper, food dish, back door, toy mouse, or even his own special chair. Will Oswald realize that life is more fun when you have a friend—and that, really, there’s plenty of room on the chair to share? A fun picture book with a comforting message for any kid with a new sibling.
