Lauren B read in storytime for 3-5yos

A story told in rhyme of a quiet cat who lived with a quiet lady in a quiet house. The lady leaves each day, and Homer is usually just fine at home, but one day a loud noise startles him, and he runs through town. Eventually he winds up at the library, where he finds the quiet lady - she's a librarian!

Same illustrator as Sophie's Squash; whimsical watercolor and collage.

Almost exactly the same plot as the first half of Clarence the Copy Cat, by Lakin.  But that is copyright 9 years earlier.  And is more interesting.  This one acknowledges that some ppl are allergic, and so a cat can't live at the Post Office.  But allergic ppl, like me, like to spend time at libraries, too.  Please don't think it's a good idea to have a cat in the library, and if you have one in a bookstore or gift shop or hotel, please say so on your website and on a sign on the door or window.

This book is just a cute story to read to students or to have them read to you.
