Book Cover & Preview Text
Nate was sunning himself, belly up, in the window when some of his friends surprised him. He quickly jumped into his robe and grabbed the tissue box. "Nate, buddy, what's wrong?" asked Mittens. "We miss you in school and will help you with all the work you are missing," explained Ruby. Nate looked the least bit interested and changed the subject to the latest squeaky toy he received. The moment school was mentioned, it was as if the cat had Nate's tongue.
