Jan Brett writes a beautiful story but the true star of the show are her gorgeous illustrations. I love how the stunning art in the central picture is augmented by the secondary story being told in the images in the side bar. She is a tee master of her craft. ( )

Typically beautiful, detailed drawings add to the text. ( )

It all begins when Comet walks away from the lighthouse close to his birthplace on Nantucket Island. He visits a garden, a bookstore, a boat, and a party, and at each place he gets into trouble and loses one of his lives. Comet starts to worry. He longs for a home, a place where he’ll be safe. Will he find one before he uses up all nine lives?

Lovely. I recall it being one of my favorite Brett because of the unfamiliarity of the story. And of course all the seashells, ropes, etc. in the illustrations were wonderful. ( )
