(picture book)
Edna, a vain indoor cat, gets invited to a party in the woods to meet a new cat in the neighborhood who also has a special tail. Her sense of competition leads her to extreme measures and an unexpected discovery about herself. Don't let the abundance of pink lead you to think this is a book only for girls. Boys love the part where she gets chased by a monster of her own making. Older kids totally get the party scene. It was listed #2 on the L.A. Times Best Sellers List for children's books.
