A patriotic feline, Captain Cat springs out of bed whenever the bugle sounds, and he has more stripes than any of the soldiers. But most of all, this young recruit and his best friend, Pete, know what it really takes to make the army a home: friendship.

In book four of the Klawde series, our favorite warlord cat turns his malevolent gaze to the one target he never thought he'd consider: Earth. But conquering a world is a challenge, even for Klawde, and he'll need two things for his plan to succeed: an army of zombie squirrels, and, of course, money. Lots of money. And he has a plan to get it. Meanwhile, as his evil pet plots world domination, Raj is also trying to make some extra cash. He's dying for a cool virtual-reality headset and is determined to get his yard-cleaning business off the ground to pay for it.

Endlich sind alle drei Rabengeschichten in einer Hörbuchedition versammelt.

In "Wer will den blauen Raben haben?" vertreibt ein Feuer den Blauraben aus seiner Heimat. Eine Reise ins Unbekannte beginnt, die ihn über's Meer und an fremde Ufer führt.

Auch kleine Siebenschläfer kennen die Gefühle Wut und Trotz. Nichts und niemand kann den kleinen Siebenschläfer heute aufheitern. Nicht das Puppenspiel, das die Haselmaus für ihn aufführt, nicht die Witze, die ihm das Eichhörnchen erzählt und schon gar nicht die saure Zitrone, die der Igel bringt, weil er einmal gehört hat, dass sauer lustig macht. Aber seine Freunde geben nicht auf, bevor der kleine Siebenschläfer wieder lachen kann!

A little bit of kindness can make a lot of change in human life or animals. When you show kindness, care, and love to animals or pets, they always have so many different ways to express their happiness. For example, when you have been kind to a dog, the dog will wag its tail. When you show kindness to a cat, it will start rubbing its body around you, and the cat will make a purring noise to show you that it is happy.
