(3) K-3 Illustrated by Judith Byron Schachner. In this amusing pourquoi tale, Mother Holly instructs Cat to clean the cottage while she's out. The lazy Cat longs to nap, but his plans are thwarted by one magical mishap after another. The colorful artwork shows the bemused feline dealing with a rainstorm, a swift wind, peals of thunder, and a blizzard--all inside the house. Readers will be delighted by Cat's exploits, which explain how he gets his purr.
