Synopsis

The very popular cat from the animated Shrek film series comes vividly alive in this brand-new book. Scheduled for publication this Fall to coincide with the November 4, 2011 release of the latest Shrek spin-off movie, Puss in Boots, its the story of a quick-witted, felinethe pet of Peter, a good-natured but shiftless orphan boy. As the story begins, Peters father, the village miller, has died, and he has bequeathed his son nothing more than a pet cat. But clever Puss is in fact a blessing in disguise. Puss wastes no time concocting a scheme in which he will go to the royal palace, befriend the king, and convince the king to transform young Peter into a fine nobleman, fit to marry a princess. But first, Peter must give Puss his very best pair of boots. Thus begins a new, funny, and fast-paced rendition of the classic childrens adventure. Its retold in this beautifully illustrated edition by Stella Gurney, with Gerald Kelleys dynamic color illustrations on every page.
