Reviews
As handsome as the big-eyed tabby that stares out from its cover.
--The New York Times Book Review
Though the storytelling is gentle and the realistic illustrations soft-edged, there's plenty of emotional force in Lost Cat.
--The Wall Street Journal
Given the appealing subject matter, tightly focused visual storytelling and feel-good resolution, Slipper's adventures will likely find an enthusiastic audience, particularly among feline fanciers.
--Kirkus A neatly told story, sweet without being saccharine, that charms from beginning to end.
--School Library Journal The delightful story of a cat named Slipper that gets separated from its owner.
--Publishers Weekly This tale of a lost cat who searches for someone new to 'adopt' should appeal to every child with a pet (or hoping to have one).
--Booklist There are dozens of lost pet stories but this one skillfully utilizes an intriguing cat's-eye-perspective, vivid illustrations, and a happy (if unrealistic) ending to satisfying effect. Succinct, sonorous text also makes for smooth reading aloud.
