Synopses & Reviews
Dick King-Smiths mischievous narrative and Bob Grahams sweet, humorous watercolors capture the first eight lives of a kitten whos ready to scamper his way into hearts everywhere.Aristotle the kitten is so adventurous that its a good thing cats have nine lives. Whats even better is that Aristotle has found the kind witch Bella Donna to be his owner. Somehow she is always there when he gets into trouble, whether tumbling down the chimney, tipping over a giant milk jug, or tearing away from a snarling watchdog - just as a truck comes areening by. Is it luck? Or maybe a little bit of magic?
