Cat and Yarn are best friends. But when Yarn changes, Cat isn't happy!
Jacob Grant is originally from Ohio but now lives with his wife and
child in a very windy city in Illinois. Jacob has never knitted
anything, but he did write and illustrate a picture book about
swearing animals. He likes to think Little Bird's Bad Word has as
much warmth as any sweater.

"Children who cannot yet read on their own could pick up the book and easily understand it just by looking at the pictures. VERDICT A short, sweet selection packed with warm, fuzzy feelings, perfect for storytime or one-on-one sharing."--School Library Journal "Grant revels in Cat's tendency toward crotchetiness (some of his grimaces could give Grumpy Cat a run for her money), and the book is equally rewarding whether readers take what Cat learns to heart or just giggle over the ups and downs of this slightly knotty friendship."--Publishers Weekly "The simplicity of the story is matched by graphically crisp illustration that captures cats' well-known fascination with bright balls of yarn, as well as the comfort that everyday objects bring, a message little listeners will instinctively understand . . . Will bring smiles along with the message that, though friends might change, they can still remain close to you if you give them a chance."--Booklist "While this is an easy pick for a cat or crafting storytime, the word repetition and short, simple sentences also puts this within the reach of beginning readers. For all audiences, the final scene in which poor Cat has now acquired two new Yarn friends will incite a riot of giggles."--BCCB
