Norman Baxter, (Paperback)

Norman Baxter wasn't very good at being a cat. While his brothers and sisters were busy slinking, climbing, chasing butterflies and running after birds, Norman Baxter spent his days sleeping in a sunny patch of grass in the backyard. When a terrible thunderstorm drives him far from home and headlong into danger, this most un-cat-like of all cats finds himself lost and alone in the wide world. Will his family find him in time, or will everything he has ever known and loved be lost forever?

Norman Baxter is a mostly true story of a real-life cat who discovers that being himself, even if un-cat-like, makes all the difference.
