Cat up a Tree: A Story in Poems

40 pp. | Dutton | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-525-45994-4 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Mackey. When a girl sees a cat climb a tree, she decides to rescue it with help from passersby. In a series of poems, accompanied by brightly elegant full-page paintings, all the participants express how they feel about catching the cat--including the cat himself, who slips away unseen. While some of the poems are appealing, others seem marginally related to the story, and the language in many is not very accessible to young children.
