For fans of The Book Hog and The Leaf Thief comes a zany, fun picture book about a cat on a mission to find the perfect lap.

Lap Cat is on a quest to find the warmest, softest, most comfortable lap around Mellsville. They search high and low, in parks and diners, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. With everyone in town mad at their actions, will Lap Cat be able to see past their own desires and make up for the messes they’ve made?    

Author-illustrator Joren Cull has crafted both a hilarious adventure and a thoughtful lesson in being mindful of how your actions affect others.
