Paul Howard's delightful and fun drawings embellish a fine story for grades 3-4.

Suzy finds a huge basket in a field, deems it the perfect spot to fall to sleep, and wakes up to find herself in the sky! Only problem is, Suzy is a cat, so she has no way of phoning home for help and finds herself on an adventure in England as she tries to return to her native France. Paul Howard's delightful and fun drawings embellish a fine story for grades 3-4.

School Book Review

Did you ever see a cat water skiing? I read a book about a cat how did. It is called The Cat Who Wanted To Go Home by Jill Tomlinson. My book is about a cat that gets lost. He tries to get back home. This is a great book because it is very exciting. One of the exciting pictures is when the cat swims in the water to catch up with a boat. I think the author is trying to tell you keep trying. Do you think the cat will ever get back home?
