[Lobstergirl · Rating 3 out of 5]

Steven Kellogg's old-fashioned pen and ink drawings (old-fashioned meaning 1973) are in white, brown and mustard, and perfectly illustrate a cat's need for both affection and independence. The text, from the first person point of view of an unnamed girl, is minimal.

"Oh, cat! I hear your motor." My favorite line from this sweet book about the developing friendship between a girl and a stray cat.
