Abstract
Much like anyone, Bruno the cat has peculiar days, rainy days, stupid days, and days bordering on perfection, among others. Accompanied by a faithful cast of both old and new friends, Bruno makes the best of life’s ups and downs. He strives for fun and adventure throughout the six linked stories in the book, each detailing a different sort of day in Bruno’s life. Bruno makes new friends, takes care of old friends, and survives bad days. The final drama of the book occurs when Bruno loses his signature blue hat. Happily for Bruno, the hat is shortly and unexpectedly returned to him by one of the many friends he has helped and valued throughout the book, illustrating the benefits of nurturing and initiating friendships with a variety of individuals who have varying strengths and characteristics.
