K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Paul Meisel.
The protagonist is told: "Scat, cat!" by all the other animals he encounters; he walks and walks until he comes to a house, where he curls up on the porch and goes to sleep. In a satisfying twist, it turns out that he has returned home. Simple vocabulary and lots of repetition combine with warm, expressive illustrations to tell an engaging story.
