(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Santat. Despite his tough-cat façade, feline Tom doesn't pounce when he finds a helpless baby bird; instead, he goes to great lengths to take care of it, grumbling loudly all the way. Esbaum's creative use of language and rhyme makes this comical book a pleasure to read. Santat's illustrations play up the humorous contrast between the scrawny bird and the beefy cat.
