The strength of this book lies in its illustrations rather than in the story line. Well-known author George Ella Lyon wrote the story, and it is one that should resonate with Appalachian children, but I suspect it would lack appeal with most urban and suburban children. The illustrations are beautiful. ( )

This book was an alright read. It tells you the tale of a cat who likes to travel around and does not stay put for long. The only charming thing about it is that the cat has kittens, and the illustrations are absolutely adorable. I wouldn't reread this book because it did not catch my attention well enough, but it might be a good read for others. ( )
