Ghost Cat

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Reczuch. After Miss Wilkinson's beloved cat sickens and dies, the elderly lady feels lonely and sad. But a nighttime visit from the ghost of her pet and the sudden blooming of the rose bush she planted on his grave give her comfort. The flabby narrative overuses adjectives, but the story will resonate with readers who have lost an animal friend. Realistic paintings capture the cat's movements and Miss Wilkinson's affection.
Reviewer: Anne St. John
