Description

When Babs the cat decides to take her kitten home to keep her out of trouble, she creates a traffic jam at the corner where Officer Grumm stops the traffic to let them cross. Babs and her kitten are crossing the road and all traffic comes to a halt! Fire trucks can't get through, the school bus, much to the delight of its passengers, is stopped dead, commuters are late for their trains, groceries are spoiling, and everyone is fuming. All the people stuck in cars, trucks, buses, and on motorcycles have something to say about the long delay. Unfold the special pages and see just how big and tiresome a traffic jam can be. Fold the pages back and the cars, trucks, and buses are on their way again. This clever book is filled with bright colors, silly characters, and cute, curious kittens and delightful details to pour over again and again. Kids will be happy to sit still for this traffic jam!
