Backstage Cat

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jenni Desmond. When the leading lady's cat, Simon, is frightened by a noise, he climbs a tree on the play's set. After the stage manager, stagehands, and electrician fail to lure him down, the star steps in and the show goes on--until something frightens her and Simon takes the spotlight. The story and the sketch-like illustrations both capture the theater's backstage world with humor.
