Mr. McGratt and the Ornery Cat

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 1999 | Trade ISBN 1-55074-564-6 $$14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Martine Gourbault. A succession of neighbors offers to take the stray cat that's been hanging around Mr. McGratt's yard, but each person brings him back eventually, because the cat is just too disagreeable. Finally, Mr. McGratt realizes that an ornery cat is exactly what he needs. Executed with colored pencil on a textured surface, the cartoonlike artwork emphasizes the expressions on both the human and animal faces.
