About The Book
Whiskers goes viral in this fourth zany novel in a chapter book series where the fur—and fun—flies at an animal spa and hotel.
The Animal Inn is an all-inclusive pet resort/hotel/center/spa for animals from dogs to rabbits, cats to ducks, parrots to lizards. From doggie and kitty daycare, to grooming, and group play—you name it, and the Animal Inn has it.
The Inn is run by the Tyler family along with their pets Leopold, the Macaw; Fuzzy and Furry, the gerbils; dogs Dash and Coco; felines Shadow and Whiskers; and a rollicking horde of animal visitors.
When Whiskers becomes an unexpected internet star after a hilarious post becomes an online sensation, Whiskers and the Tylers are invited to NYC for a morning TV show interview. The Tylers rent an RV and take the whole family for the fur-tastic experience. Even though Whiskers is a bit full of himself with his newly found internet fame, he’s also super nervous! Will his fame translate to the TV screen—or is he destined to stay a meme forever?
