Three suspicious cats poised to read aloud from Cat Secrets directly address readers: "You don't look much like a cat!" The felines test their audience's ability to meow, purr, etc. This ultimately benefits a mouse who's been skulking in the cartoony illustrations. The whole favorably recalls Mo Willems's books about the pigeon, whose persnicketiness is matched by this book's leader.
