Meow Means Mischief

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Stephanie Roth. In this companion book to Dear Whiskers, shy new-girl Rana dreads the impending visit of her Bombay grandparents--they prefer her gregarious little sister, cook spicy food, and wear "weird clothing." The arrival of a stray kitten not only brings her closer, unexpectedly, to her grandmother but also wins her friends at school. Though perhaps resolved too facilely, this brief novel is true to the feelings and experience of children.
