Anton and Cecil: Cats at Sea

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. This illustrated feline adventure involves stray cat brothers in seafaring escapades. When Anton is taken aboard a large vessel, Cecil stows away on an improbable rescue mission with the next departing ship. Lyrical language and historically rich settings featuring rowdy sailors, pirates, danger, and intrigue are marred by an unresolved and confusing incident, making this whimsical fantasy less satisfying than it might otherwise have been.
