When the local mayor announces that the cat population is spreading a deadly disease, their lives are in mortal danger. There's no time to paws!

The How-To Handbook packs over 50 essential life skills into one handy reference book, and uses dozens of illustrations to show readers the very best ways to:
Thread a needle
Pitch a tent
Tie a tie
Treat a bee sting
Chop an onion…and much, much more!
