The Cat Who Liked Potato Soup

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Root. When he returns from fishing to discover that his cat is nowhere to be found, an old man realizes how much he appreciates his only companion, from whom he had hid his affection--"'You ain't nobody's prize.'" The story captures the bond that can exist between person and pet, and the watercolor and gouache art emphasizes the quiet simplicity of this pair's life together.
