Product Description Upset by the disappearance of her cat Bruno, a woman is horrified when she sees her neighbor with a fur hat the same color as Bruno. From Publishers Weekly Lena Larsen has looked everywhere for her missing cat, Bruno. When she sees her neighbor, a diligent game hunter, wearing a hat that distinctly resembles her pet, Lena is horrified. After plotting dire methods of revenge, the bereaved Lena absconds with the hat in the middle of the night in order to give it a proper burial. On a walk in town to cheer herself, Lena spies several identical cat hats in a shop window and discovers that the suspected fur is in fact 100% synthetic. Offbeat humor and quirky illustrations provide plenty of charm. Tall, gawky Lena has an unusual outlook on life: of the mixup she comments, If you walk around in a hat that looks exactly like a missing Angora cat, in a way you ve only yourself to blame. The resourceful girl s unflagging spirit pervades, and an unexpected twist at the end adds depth to this uncommon story. Ages 510. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal Grade 24 After the disappearance of her beloved angora cat, Eva suspects her neighbor Roland of foul play when she spots a similarly colored hat in his house filled with hunting trophies. She steals her deadcatturnedhat from Roland s house for a proper burial, but later discovers that the hat was 100% Orlon, and not her feline. The firstperson narrative, translated from the Swedish, is slow and has a tendency to meander, although Eva s predicament and overactive imagination do produce moments of humor. The text is copiously illustrated with primitive, cartoonlike watercolors that seem intended for a younger audience. Eva s sensitive concern for her cat and distaste for hunting are oddly juxtaposed with her ideas of revenge on Roland. Libraries looking for humorous easy fiction should stick with standbys such as Greenwald s Rosy Cole series (Little), Fleischman s McBroom books (Little), or Hurwitz series about Nora, Aldo, and Russell (Morrow).
