K-3Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Ellen Beier.
When the stray cat that Carol and Ray have taken in leads Carol to a spot outside the house and starts digging, he reveals a broken gas pipe, thus saving their lives. The effort of explaining an abstract household danger in simple language results in an awkward telling, but readers will nonetheless enjoy the appealing watercolors and the true-story aspect of the tale.
