Glamourpuss

Glamourpuss lives with the “gazillionaire” Mr. and Mrs. Highhorsen.  She has the best money can buy and is spoiled beyond belief.  She doesn’t go downstairs, she descends.  She doesn’t lie down, she reclines.  She even changed the ordinary “me-ow” to just ME!  One day, Mrs. Highhorsen’s sister, Eugenia, comes for an extended visit – with Bluebelle, a tacky Chihuahua.  Glamourpuss is horrified.  Bluebelle is taking all the attention.  When the Highhorsen’s and Eugenia left for a while, Glamourpuss discovers Bluebelle has destroyed all her costumes.  It was then Glamourpuss realizes Bluebelle just wanted to be more sophisticated like Glamourpuss.  With a few helpful instructions, Bluebelle becomes not only more stylish, but a good friend.  The ink and watercolor illustrations are humorous and depict the classy owners from the neck down – the perspective of a small pet.  This would be a fun book to use when discussing adjectives.
