The Old Woman's Cat - Paperback

by Alice Lesak (Author), Stephanie Koller (Illustrator)

When a kitten is dropped off on the doorstep of an old woman, she decides to name him Jake. It turns out that Jake has quite an independent personality. He won't obey the rules that Katie the dog tries to teach him, and he gets into trouble more than once. When a baby fox coaxes Jake to play with him, they go on an adventure that will bring Jake face to face with mama fox, who had chased Jake away from her home in the past.

A great choice for intermediate readers, The Old Woman's Cat celebrates individualism while highlighting the joy of friendship.
