Despre această carte electronică

Garfield, bon vivant of cats, lazy, sassy, grouchy, and downright delightful, is back with an all-star cast: Jon, his owner; Liz, the veterinarian; Irma, the waitress; Lyman, Jon's friend; Odie, just a dog; Nermal, a cute kitten; and Pooky, Garfield's very own teddy bear. Together again, they're in Garfield's world now, and what he says goes—for everyone.
