Save That Cat!

Someone left the gate open, and the neighbor’s dog has chased John’s cat Astro up a very high tree. She’s too scared to come down, so John calls for help. Soon the whole neighborhood is caught up in the dilemma. Annoyed by days of Astro’s cries of distress, one influential neighbor finally does what no one else can to ＂save that cat.＂ With charming illustrations by Alex Willis-Paulsen, author Ann Cannan offers this recounting of a true family event, which young children and their parents will relate to and enjoy.

Ann Cannan has been an avid book-lover and overachiever from an early age: while in the first grade, she read 120 books! Since her 1957 graduation from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, she has added to her achievements, raising four children, teaching elementary school, sitting on the local school board, and serving as city councilman and mayor of Anderson, California.
