Joe Van der Katt and the Great Picket Fence - ISBN 1589802810 Joe Van der Katt and the Great Picket fence explores the humble kitty-cat beginnings of Labor Day.  Of course in the cat world, it is referred to as Lay-Purr Day.  Read along as Joe and his buddies, Gompers and Wobbly, fight for fair treatment for all working cats.   Be prepared for the nasty Mr. J. Paul Kitty, the richest cat in the town of Litterbox, New York.    Me-OW!  What a meany.  Our hero is not deterred and leads the cats of Litterbox to confront J. Paul Kitty and his bullies.  The kitties walk the first picket (fence) line until Mr. Kitty yields and agrees to give the cats a contract.  Check out this fifth in a series of fables about American holidays.  Your kids will love it and better yet, so will you.
