SOME CAT!, by Mary Casanova, ill. by Ard Hoyt (FSG/Macmillan 2012)(ages 2+). Violet was a queen and was meant to rule. But she had been imprisoned in a facility far beneath her station. Naturally, when gawkers happened by, she would arch her back and hiss. Usually, said gawkers would take away a kitten (likewise imprisoned) and go away. One day, a man and a woman came by and instantly recognized Violet's royal virtues. So they took her home with them. Their home, alas, was occupied by two large canines! What was a queen to do?
SOME CAT! is a lovelytail tale of overcoming adversity friendship and family, even if it means, on occasion, purring with the hounds.

I’m putting the following books on my to-read list. I chose these particular books of the many the above authors have written because either these particular characters or the genres (fantasy, adventure, and historical fiction) are the most different from my own work.

I, Mercury, am of course, the cat. Nevertheless, I will grant you that Violet, the protagonist in this fine picture book, is some cat. In much the same way that Wilbur, the porcine mammal from E.B. White's CHARLOTTE'S WEB, was some pig.

I love the cover. That's all I was planning to post, but then I saw the "you may also like' part, and have to say, I love that, too. :-)
