Kids' Book of the Week , September 18, 2023

Anyone who has owned a cat knows that you can't really own a cat. Cats, after all, as the boy in this funny and wise and stylish book from 1963 learns, are their own private and personal things and while they might be your friend, they aren't yours. And, by the way, that goes for people too. (Ages 2 to 6)
