The Cats in Krasinski Square

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Wendy Watson. A little girl (perhaps ten years old) narrates this story of wartime Poland, describing her visits with the abandoned cats in Krasinski Square and how they came to be helpers in a scheme to smuggle food into the Warsaw Ghetto. Both author and artist achieve a fine balance of beauty and sadness. Simple, graceful words and pictures make this adventure story a taut and moving one.
