(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jim LaMarche. With her "kitten days" far behind her, Tiger Rose knows "It is time" and silently bids her human family goodbye. Alone, but content, she curls up under a rosebush, "and then she was gone, / now a part of the earth, the air, the sky, the sun-- / and all." Soft, dreamlike illustrations help create the peaceful mood in this poignant story.
