Stretchy McHandsome is the butterscotch colored brother in a family of nine cats. One day he's had enough of "too many siblings" so he ventures into town, experiencing a fountain, leaving scratch marks on a tree, visiting a tiger in the zoo, and stretching out to get some sun in a bookstore window. While in the window, he is spotted by a little girl who is smitten! She takes him home, but - what happens when his cat family starts to miss him?
Super cute whimsical illustrations highlight this darling story. His 2 colored eyes, expressions, his heart-shaped nose, I want this kitty, too! The poetry reminded me of T.S. Elliot's "Old Possums Book of Practical Cats". Cat lovers will adore this.
