Moonsie is looking a little worse for the wear. He needs a vet, and quick . . . but this feisty feline isn’t going to make it easy! A rhyming, rhythmic delight for animal lovers young and old with enriching activities to accompany it, Whiskers in a Twist is a humorous, memorable poem that captures the love, responsibility, and (mis)adventure that comes with owning a pet.
