Highway Cats

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David Frankland. The miraculous survival of three kittens abandoned on the median prompts the highway cats to clean up their acts. Meanwhile, a new Interstate exit threatens the cats' favorite haunt. Lisle weaves concerns such as animal rights and environmental preservation into a thoughtful fable about the stresses endured by homeless creatures of any species. Frankland's lively silhouettes nicely reflect the story's mood.
