(3) K-3 The childless Portlys find a kitten under their sofa. They dress, feed, and spoil her, then send her to school, where her active distaste for rules gets her in trouble. The story, featuring a heroine whose delectable devilishness is displayed in the antic illustrations, works both as rollicking entertainment and, more subtly, as commentary about parents' unconditional love.
