About This Book
In 'Garfield Goes to Disobedience School,' Jon's patience wears thin with his notoriously lazy and mischievous cat, Garfield. He decides to send Garfield to a pet obedience school, hoping for a transformation. However, Garfield, being Garfield, has no intention of changing his ways, instead turning the school's routines and expectations on their head. This chapter book is a humorous exploration of individuality, the challenges of training pets, and the enduring, if exasperated, love between Jon and Garfield. It's perfect for early to late elementary readers who enjoy slapstick comedy and familiar characters.
Jon can't take it anymore. He's fed up with Garfield's bad behavior and has sent the bratty cat off to Pet Obedience School. Unfortunately, the school has never had a student like Garfield before. Will Garfield or the school ever be the same?
