IT’S A PUSS IN UTES! A tale about a very large tomcat, Pepper Parker, and his unexpected adventure into the Marine Corps way of life. Early one fateful morning he was at the wrong place at the wrong time— curious about a row of yellow footprints at Parris Island Recruit Receiving when a bus load of Marine wannabes arrived. The Marine drill instructors thought Pepper was a recruit and tried to put him through training. The poor cat insisted he was an “accidental recruit,” but the Marines didn’t believe him. The recruiters had sent them some peculiar recruits before, but this one took the cake. It was up to the drill instructors to do whatever was necessary to make him into the best Marine possible. Failure to do the impossible was not in their genes. Pepper’s mistress, Jessie Lee, his brother, Bubba Billy and an assortment of animal characters calling themselves The Pet Pals keep the action moving at a high pitch during the tomcat’s incarceration at Parris Island. (Pepper follows the REAL recruit training schedule!) A great story to share with the kids so they can see what Mom, Dad, a sibling, grandma, grandpa or loved one went through at Marine Corps boot camp. A witty, delightfully illustrated book for animal lovers, and especially for U.S. Marines spanning the gamut from recruits to retirees. In other words, for everyone from ages 6 to forever (once a Marine - always a Marine) Semper Fi!
