The Perfect Nest by Catherine Friend is a hilarious story of Jack, a cat who builds a perfect nest that will eventually give him his perfect omelet. Well, never thinking that chickens were not the only animals in the farm that would lay eggs, creates a huge problem for him when a duck and goose also do the same on the perfect nest. At first he is delighted because he is thinking of the three omelets he will be enjoying, but soon realizes he can't get his hands on the eggs because the chicken, the duck, and the goose won't leave the nest. He tries to scare them away by yelling, "Fire!", "Flood", and "Wolf!", but nothing seems to work until he tells them there is a better nest in the next farm. He anxiously awaits for them to leave, and they do, and just when he is getting read to get the eggs..... they start hatching! The three feathered babies want their mothers' attention and there's nothing much Jack can do but attend to them.

This was just a hilarious story! One, I for sure know children, anyone would enjoy reading.
