Follow a tale of tails that proves fun is fundamental to forming healthy habits!

Fat Cat is, well, fat. He can’t even see his toes anymore. He loves food and sleeping too much! He eats biscuits and pies, sausage and peas. He simply gorges on milk and cheese. All that eating makes him tired, so much so that he can’t even do his only job . . . chasing away the mice. The other household pets know something must be done! While Fat Cat naps, the mice take away all the food in the house. Butch the Dog, a retired racing greyhound, takes it upon himself to train Fat Cat to live a healthier lifestyle. As Butch educates the book’s feline star, he imparts actionable, encouraging advice for young readers, and The Fat Cat Who Changed His Ways helps empower families to start and sustain positive habits.

“Sometimes, I’m the author of whimsical rhyming children’s books; sometimes, I’m a physician with a long-standing professional interest in addressing the global, growing pandemic of childhood obesity. Danny Walten’s That Fat Cat Who Changed His Ways hit me right where I live — twice! Positive without being preachy, tackling a serious topic in a lyrical, lighthearted way, this book is just what the doctor ordered.”
