| KokoCat, Inside and Out |
| |
| KokoCat, a well-loved housecat, has seen the world only from the safety of her windows. One day, she takes advantage of an open door and runs away to explore.
Once outside, she finds that life is more complicated and less enjoyable than she bargained for. Hungry, lost, and alone, KokoCat takes shelter under a trash bin, dreaming of her former life and the people who care about her. |

| What readers are saying about The Gryphon Press books... |
| |
|
|
| “The engaging stories published by The Gryphon Press are a wonderful way to teach children the values of empathy and respect for animals. There is sadly little time in the day for this important aspect of education, but these beautiful stories will ensure that we communicate these positive messages to our students through their use as interactive read alouds and as valuable additions to the classroom library.” |
|
—Esther Klein Friedman, Ph.D., Director,
Office of Academic Intervention Services K-12,
New York City Department of Education |
| |
| “Incorporating Are You Ready For Me and It’s Raining Cats and Cats into our library and shelter reading programs, as well as our supplemental curriculum, has been a big hit and a lot of fun. Both stories help bring to life our lessons about responsible pet parenting. Students are engaged as they read along, which in turn excites educators and parents. We look forward to new titles that will complement and inspire our humane education programs.” |

“Gryphon Press’ inspiring books bring education about empathy and the human-animal bond to children in the form of beautiful fictional picture books. These books have become an integral part of our humane education library program, since they provoke thoughtful dialogue about responsible pet care among our young participants.”

"Friends of Long Beach Animals, through our Humane Education branch, has donated many of the
books published by The Gryphon Press to all of our area schools and libraries. The beautiful books are much used and appreciated by librarians, teachers and the children, and help to make all of us aware
of kindness to animals."
