Catilda

(4) K-3 Catilda the cat leaves her bed, hops aboard a red bird, and employs other drastic means to search for her lost teddy bear. While the uncluttered watercolors show her perilous adventure, the text consists of her parents' anxious dialogue about whether to check on her. The simultaneous stories may be confusing to some, but the juxtaposition of the parents' pragmatism with Catilda's fantastic journey is entertaining.
