Some Cat!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ard Hoyt. After cat Violet is adopted, she is less than friendly toward her owners' two yippy dogs (known to readers of this book's predecessor, Some Dog!). The story line is predictable (guess who rescues Violet when some mean dogs threaten her?), but the book is pleasantly old-fashioned with its sketch-like art in muted colors and its refusal to cute-ify the scowly Violet.
