Illustrated by
Henry Cole.
Unwanted by their owner, a litter of kittens narrowly escapes being drowned. Taken in by a fisherman, Bo feels at home on the boat, but the captain is determined to get rid of her. Although the narration's gentle tone will reassure young readers, the story will be a bit too precious for some. This large-size chapter book includes many illustrations of the small cat and her companions.
