Kristie’s new kitty bears the name Groucho for obvious reasons: he’s as white as a cloud everywhere except for those two black smudges above his eyes. What other name could he have?
Girl and cat become best friends and playmates, reading together, snuggling under the quilt, and playing hide-and-seek tracking games in the snow. When Groucho wanders away one day, Kristie uses her woodsy savvy to follow various animal tracks, leading her to the happy discovery of a snow bank bearing two black eyebrows. The warmth of the family’s love for this unique cat, the drama of his being lost, and the exciting final reunion will touch readers of all ages.
