A young girl describes the life of her cat, from his kitten days until his death at an old age. Numerous rectangular pictures of Desser and his family are arranged on each page, reminiscent of a scrapbook, and the abundant use of calico patterns in the artwork creates a comfortable and homey mood. Pet lovers will enjoy this paean to a beloved furry friend.
