Old Robert and the Sea-Silly Cats

40 pp. | Philomel | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25430-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jan Jutte. A cat tries making its way onto Old Robert's sailboat, but there's "no room in the trim little boat." When the sailor reluctantly lets the cat board, a string of other cats follow; he finds a place on his vessel--and in his life--for affection. There's not much to the repetitive story, but the text is rhythmic and Jutte's illustrations are playfully imaginative.
