Cat and Canary
A quirky tale about a cat whose best friend is a canary and whose ambition is to be able to fly like him. The cat's owner however, just wants to be able to lie about all day like a cat. Only the canary is totally happy at the start of the book. The cat does get his wish, in a rather deus ex machina sort of way (the poor human never makes it!) and the relationship between the cat and his friend is even closer as a result. The story is satisfying; the pictures, of course, striking, with remarkable effects of flying and space and rich colour. Well worth possessing.
