Illustrated by
Jill Weber.
This story follows the adventures of a stray New York City cat named Pretty Boy, who goes from stubbornly self-sufficient to comfortably nestled within a circle of quirky companions. Weber's detailed, charming color illustrations bringing the culture of Greenwich Village vividly to life only somewhat compensate for Salamon's trite prose; still, the book may hold some appeal as an easy family read.
