Book Introduction
From the chirping of seagulls to the scent of the sea, to the seaweed, and even a kind grandmother…
A special and refreshing summer story discovered by 33 cats!


It's summer vacation, and thirty-three cats come to visit Grandma Seal's house.
While Grandma, exhausted from preparing delicious food all night, sleeps soundly, the cats begin to explore the conch shell hut.
But as I wandered around, my whole body felt sticky and hot.
“I hate summer because it’s hot!” A few cats step forward before the grumbling cats! “I’ll find you a real summer!” The cats begin to bring their own versions of summer to the cabin, including a rolling watermelon, a spooky ghost, and a whirring fan… Will the thirty-three cats be able to find a real summer and spend a fun day with Grandma Seal?

Artist Tomatsuri, who is loved not only in Korea but also in Taiwan and Japan for her cute and emotional drawings, tells a refreshing summer story with 33 cats this time.
"Meow Meow Cat Friends: Please Take Care of Summer!" is a picture book that carefully captures the warm love of a kind seal grandmother, the imaginative antics of little cats, and summer moments filled with the scent of the sea.
You can also play hidden picture games and counting games, making it perfect for stimulating children's observation skills and curiosity!

Into the book
“Our cats are coming tomorrow.”
Grandma Seal had been waiting for the day the thirty-three cats would come for several days.
When the hot summer starts, they say they'll come play in this conch shell hut on the edge of the cliff.
--- pp.6-7

Grandma Seal didn't wake up until all thirty-three cats had eaten.
“I wanted to have a fun summer with my grandmother….”

Then the first cat, Porongi, spoke.
"Hey kids, I have a great idea! Why don't we have fun together without waking Grandma?
“First, let’s explore this conch shell hut!”
“Meow meow~ I like it!!”
--- pp.18-19

Kookookookook!
“What does this mean?”
The door flew open and large watermelons rolled in.
“Here, I brought summer.
Frozen all the way to the tips of your ears.
“Cool and sweet watermelon!!”
The cats were hanging on the watermelon.

My feet got freezing cold and my butt got sticky.
“I hate sticky summers so much~!”

Publisher's Review
The affectionate seal grandmother and the playful cats
A very special and cool summer moment together!


Grandma Seal received a welcome letter.
When summer vacation begins, thirty-three cats come to visit! Grandma goes to the market to shop and diligently prepares shrimp cakes, seaweed parfaits, fish sandwiches, and more all night long.
Finally, the long-awaited little guests arrive at Grandma's house, and the cats sing "Yum yum yum nyang~♬" and enjoy the food Grandma prepared for them.
But I think grandma is very tired.
I nodded off and soon fell into a deep sleep, snoring.


The thirty-three cats begin to explore Grandma's conch shell hut without waking her tired grandmother.
But after exploring, my whole body feels sticky! “I hate summer, it’s so hot!” The cats bring their own version of “real summer” back to the cabin.
From cool and sweet watermelons to creepy ghost puppet shows and giant fans that create a mighty gust of wind! But what can you do about it? The giant fan's gust of wind starts to blow the little kittens away.
The roof of the hut, the watermelon, the kelp, and even the newly awakened seal grandmother all jumped into the sea!

The grandmother pulls the cats onto the big boat and says.
“Children, close your eyes and take a deep breath.” Then, various summer sensations such as the sound of seagulls, the smell of seaweed, and the sound of waves seep into the cats’ whiskers, noses, ears, and fur one by one.
“Boo ...

“Nyahahahaha! This is the real summer!”

"Meow Meow Cat Friends: Please Take Care of Summer!" is a picture book that depicts the affection of Grandma Seal, who prepares food all night long for cute little kittens, and the special and cool summer days of thirty-three cats who want to spend a happy summer with Grandma.

“Drrrrrrrrrrrr kulkururur~!” As the seal grandmother, who was tired from making food all night, fell into a deep sleep, the thirty-three cats became sad.
I wanted to have fun with my grandmother this summer vacation.
Then the cat Porongi came out and spoke.
“Let’s not wake Grandma and have fun together!”

In "Meow Meow Cat Friends: Please Take Care of Summer!", you can meet cats who run around the conch shell hut and play a game of finding real summer.
From tiny jewelry boxes to massive wardrobes, they explore every nook and cranny of the house, roll watermelons, escape terrifying ghosts, and even get blown away by a giant fan! The thirty-three cats' summer is filled with whimsical and delightful imagination.
