Katje, the Windmill Cat

32 pp. | Candlewick | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-1347-9 $$15.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicola Bayley. Katje the cat's life is disrupted when her master marries. Her mistress shoos her out of the house and away from the cradle, which soon holds a brand-new baby. But when Katje saves the child during a flood, she regains her status in the household. Inspired by a true event in Holland in 1421, the text is accompanied by small illustrations that focus in tightly on the action but also help develop the characters.
