The Cat with Seven Names

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. A friendly stray cat comforts six lonely people, from a little girl new to town to a homeless veteran. When the cat is nearly hit by a car, the strangers--and his original owner--become friends. The structure (separate first-person narratives culminating in spreads with word bubbles) perfectly suits the story's premise. The loose ink and colored-pencil illustrations are full of warmth.
