(4) K-3 When Annie Fetlock's husband dies, she loses interest in cooking and closes her diner. After a cat (whom she names Thursday) comes into her life, she rediscovers her passion and reopens the diner, where a kitty-caused kitchen mishap inadvertently brings Annie national success. What the story lacks in cleverness it makes up in exuberance. Polacco's pencil and marker art captures all the topsy-turviness afoot (and underfoot).
