Tabby McTat: The Musical Cat

32 pp. | Scholastic/Levine | December, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-45168-0 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Axel Scheffler. Unexpectedly separated from human musician Fred, Tabby McTat leaves street performing behind to start a family. His son Samuel Sprat inherits Tabby's musical gift, and when Tabby and Fred are reunited, Samuel begs to become Fred's new busking partner. Detailed illustrations feature amiable kitties and eccentric entertainers on bustling city streets, while the lyrical rhyming text is reminiscent of a ballad.
