Though my daughter is now grown, we shared many books when she was little. One of our very favorites was Cross Country Cat. I believe it was a wordless book. We were so taken by the intrepid Siamese cat who strapped on cross country skis to get home when he was left behind at the family's cabin one winter vacation. Our initial distress at his predicament faded when it became clear that this was a determined and resourceful cat. Wonderful. Highly recommended.

Wonderful story for bedtime (or other down time) for kids from about 4-1/2 up. A little long for the younger set. Interesting story about a very resourceful cat, illustrated by a NH man. The series is great for any cat lover (or anyone who knows that cats are just naturally more clever than the rest of us).

Very adorable and entertaining story told by the cat who finds the ways to come back home after his family left him behind. Illustrations are attractive, even though it mostly black and white. I have read this book to my students and they love it!!! They listen carefully, laughed, and asked questions.

One of my favorite children's stories about a Siamese cat in a hot-air balloon. Check out her other books too. Great story teller.

I loved this book when I was a kid. The story still sticks with me, and inspires me to learn cross country skiing.

Though for a younger age group, I think this book is very good for anyone who likes or has owned cats!

One of my favorites as a kid. It always made me sad that the cat got separated from his family...but of course he makes it back in the end. :) A must, especially if you've ever owned a siamese.

I wasn't as fond of this cat book as I am of some of her others, because the cat is drawn so life-like and yet is skiing like a human.
