Ahoy there mateys! This was a random audiobook pick based on the author and the fact that there was a giant cat on the cover.  A cat that won't stop growing.  This book was silly and nonsensical.  I couldn't get over the silliness.  I did not really like the plot much but I did love the two best friends' relationship in this one.  And the mouse.  The mouse rocked.  Not sad that I read it but I do like many of the author's other books better.  This felt too young for me even though I read other books in this age range all the time. Arrr!
