Editorial Reviews

The computer-generated illustrations by Kristin Sorra perfectly support the story, featuring the felines in a scarlett-toned smoky haze giving the appearance and feel that they were in the fire. Readers will have instant compassion for the cats whose expressions reveal their emotions. A wonderful book for animal lovers.
