Written by Karen Beaumont, Illustrated by Stephanie Laberis
People who adore cats will relate to this old man who gradually falls under the spell of the cute strays in his neighborhood. The illustrations are appealing and children will like the story. Underlying the simple cat tale is a story of loneliness. The book could open up a discussion about the elderly in our communities and how we all should look after each other.
