Cat Comes Too

A cat follows its owner into the attic, and occasionally gets in over its head. “Too crowded. Little climb. Too small. Little push,” writes Hutchins as the cat peeks from behind a cluster of shoeboxes or out the neck of a red shirt on a hanger. Getting stuck in the laundry basket turns out to be a mixed blessing, as the cat inadvertently helps its owner find the exact item she was looking for. “Never too little to help,” reads the closing line, which will have extra meaning for young readers. Ages 2–5. Simultaneously available: Dog Comes Too. (Apr.)
