(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Santat. His owners don't know it, but in his daydreams Walter the cat goes by the name of "Fang" and has wild swashbuckling adventures. However, when food and other comforts are on offer, he does sometimes answer to less macho names, such as "Kitten" or even "Baby." Comically expressive mixed-media illustrations contrast Walter's fantasy life with his very catlike daily activities.
