The very popular cat from the animated "Shrek" film series comes vividly alive in this brand-new book. Scheduled for publication this Fall to coincide with the November 4, 2011 release of the latest "Shrek" spin-off movie, "Puss in Boots, " it`s the story of a quick-witted, feline - the pet of Peter, a good-natured but shiftless orphan boy. As the story begins, Peter`s father, the village miller, has died, and he has bequeathed his son nothing more than a pet cat. But clever Puss is in fact a blessing in disguise. Puss wastes no time concocting a scheme in which he will go to the royal palace, befriend the king, and convince the king to transform young Peter into a fine nobleman, fit to marry a princess. But first, Peter must give Puss his very best pair of boots. Thus begins a new, funny, and fast-paced rendition of the classic children`s adventure. It`s retold in this beautifully illustrated edition by Stella Gurney, with Gerald Kelley`s dynamic color illustrations on every page. Better yet, the pictures are enhanced with special features that add to the story`s excitement. They include - A wheel to turn that sets the watermill in action A flap to open for kids to discover the contents of Puss`s sack Another wheel to turn that makes rabbits appear in their holes A flap to open that shows the interior of the royal carriage A miniature booklet recounting the legend of the shape-shifting ogre A tab that opens a flap showing Puss catching the mouse Another tab that unwraps the fine gifts for the king A final pop-up illustration that shows the glorious wedding celebration Kids will be delighted as they read this lively new version of a famous fairy tale, and they`ll be enchanted by the action-filled illustrations on every page.
