My Cat Isis

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Virginie Egger. Through a series of comparisons, a child reveals the differences between the Egyptian goddess Isis and his cat named Isis. Mixed-media art captures the spirit of ancient Egyptian wall paintings; the photographic collages are less successful. Though the parallels--and differences--are amusing, this is more an affectionate, offbeat paean to a pet than a real story.
