(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ruth Brown. Jim, the quayside cat, loves to listen to Old Tregarn's tales of his life on the high seas. When the feline pair sneaks onto a ship, Jim experiences his own ocean exploits and realizes that his true home is on land. The lyrical language and striking, painterly illustrations infuse this story of friendship and adventure with just the right amount of nostalgia.
