    About this ebook

    One of the most ancient cat breeds still popular today is the Manx. Manx cats are tailless, sociable, and strong, originating from an island off the coast of Britain. Due to their oceanside beginnings, these felines sometimes play in the kitchen sink! Investigate the lives of these quirky cats in this title for early readers.
