A Cat of a Different Color

199 pp. | Delacorte | June, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-385-32710-2 $$15.95
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Tim Raglin. A self-important swindler becomes mayor of Felicity-by-the-Lake, and he and his wife scheme to claim all that is valuable and beautiful for themselves. Their plans are subverted by a clever cat who teams up with the couple's foster daughter to spur the townspeople into action. Plot and characters are drawn with broad comedic strokes, and Bauer's light treatment prevents the moral from overshadowing the story.
