          Maya and the Lost Cat

          2019

          by Caroline Magerl

          "Where does Cat live, and who can lead the way there? A lyrical, charmingly offbeat tale about wanderlust and family, rescue and finding home. On a roof, as wet as a seal, as gray as a puddle, Cat was rumbling, a rumbly purr. What will lure Cat down? Feather boas? Pretty pink shoelaces? A boatful of fish under a tiny tin sail? Maya finally succeeds, only to watch Cat jump on the roof again, above a thousand lit windows, one of which must be Cat’s own. As the rain keeps coming down, how can Maya help Cat find its home? With whimsical watercolors both fluid and full of expression, Caroline Magerl portrays a child on a mission and an adventurous cat who keeps its mysteries as quiet as its paws in a story that follows a kindly impulse to an unexpected conclusion." -- publisher

          "A humorous, charming picture book based on the internet phenomenon, Lulu, the black Labrador who failed at being a bomb-sniffing dog, but succeeded in winning the hearts of millions Lulu is a free spirit and sniffs out fun wherever she goes. That's how she ends up in the police force's K9 training program, so she can help sniff out clues! But Lulu might be a little TOO Lulu for the program. While the other dogs are more than happy to follow procedure, Lulu marches to the beat of her own drummer. And when her owner sees that Lulu isn't happy, they both know it's probably time to find a new path for her." -- publisher
