Hero Cat

by Eileen Spinelli, Jo Ellen McAllister Stammen (Illustrator)

Overview

Five tiny kittens cry for their mama, as smoke begins to fill the abandoned warehouse that has been their home. But Mother Cat has left her cozy heap of kittens to go in search of food.

Determined to save her babies, Mother Cat dashes into the burning building and follows the sounds of frightened mewing. In five daring acts, she saves each kitten—a true hero cat!

This story, accompanied by beautiful illustrations rendered in pastel, honors the tenth anniversary of the real story of a cat who rescued her kittens from a burning building in 1996.
