About This Book

A black house cat leaves the comfortable home she shares with two children and embarks on a series of small adventures. Wearing a red ribbon and bell, she explores streets and country, encounters dangers and chases, and takes refuge under wagons, in baskets, and aboard a train. Along the way she meets other animals and kind strangers, endures moments of loneliness and trouble, and forms unexpected friendships that help her weather hardships. The narrative follows her shifting fortunes and feelings as she moves from curiosity and peril toward reassurance and happiness.
