Mattie/Cataragus

Cataragus is a shy cat who lives alone in a small cottage. But his quiet, orderly life suddenly changes when a feline named Mattie appears. He is very attracted to her, and tries to think of a way to get her attention. But all his attempts fail, and Mattie, tells him off. All is not lost, however, for between the two of them, Mattie and Cataragus find a way to be together. Kyte's sophisticated illustrationswith pale, elegant colorsperfectly enhance this tale of the shaky but tender beginning of the relationship between two charming cats. Ages 3-8. (Sept.)
