When Kristie's beloved cat, Groucho, who is white but for dramatic smudgelike eyebrows, gets lost in the snow, his distinguishing characteristic helps her find him after an agonizing search. Though the text is a bit long, Kristie and Groucho's mutual affection is palpable, and the soft, lucid images of snow-decked Alaska are alluring.
