Comet's Nine Lives

by Jan Brett.
Every cat knows it has nine lives, but do all cats use theirs up so quickly? 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 it before he uses up all nine lives? Jan Brett has written and illustrated many award-winning books for children, including Trouble with Trolls and Hedgie’s Surprise. Softcover, 30 pages.
