The Best Cat

The family pet is so much more than that in this warm and funny book for little animal lovers with imaginative minds. When Bootsy plays with a ball of yarn, Jeff sees a clown the best clown in the world! And when Bootsy dances, Jeff sees a ballerina the best ballerina in the world! Jeff's big sister, Ginny, disagrees. "Bootsy is just a regular cat," she insists. But Ginny and Jeff can agree on one thing: Bootsy is the best cat in the world! Valeri Gorbachev's charming illustrations capture the central role that a beloved pet plays in the life of a child.
