Summary: A warm-hearted family story
Review: Anyone who's ever had to name a pet will appreciate the predicament that this family is going through when they adopt a stray kitty. Everyone, from family members to classmates, offers suggestions: Kabuki, Nimbus and Fish Breath among them. But no one can agree on which name is just right for the black and white feline. As the family goes through name after name, the cat assimilates into the family's daily life. His curiosity gets him into some hot water, but his luck gets him out unscathed.By the end of the story, when he falls out a window and luckily manages to land safely on his feet, a name chooses the cat. (And I bet you can guess what it is!) Pringle, a prolific writer of science and nature books for children, wrote this warm story after his family adopted a stray cat (whom they named Willow.) Potter's colorful pastel drawings are equally warm-hearted. Her playful illustrations of the cat "trying on" each of the names will please young readers.

Summary: Fun For the Family!
Review: What fun! Even if you aren't a cat lover, you'll enjoy the family's predicament as they try to find the perfect name for their newly adopted cat. Of course the cat's shenanigans and adventures result in a descriptive name that sticks. This is a great story for families to read together. It's exciting for the young ones and engaging for their parents. If a cat has ever adopted you, you'll identify with this story. Great job, Mr. Pringle and Ms. Potter!
