SO CUTE.

cat with schemes and a personal walnut seeks orphan car in blizzard for friendship.

lovely tale from the cat's perspective of living in new York in a fancy building and watching out the window and feeling sorry for a car covered in snow. they become friends, briefly, before the car's owner comes to collect him. excellent cat name also - elephi pelephi the well known cat.

This is one of those vintage books with a very curious plot. A cat with a high IQ arranges to have a small car saved from the snow and kept in the storage room of his owners' apartment. He can talk to the car? And nonsense ensues.

What a great book about a cat looking for a friend! This is the perfect book for a young reader who is quickly growing in skills! The book is dense with text, but it is easy to read and there are still pictures. It also features a super sweet story about a cat and a car. That may seem like an unlikely duo, but you'll have to read it to find out just how charming it is!

Thanks to NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
