Police Cat
Enid Hinkes, Wendy Rasmussen
Paperback (Albert Whitman, Jan. 28, 2008)"This story about animals on patrol features a crime-fighting cat, Noodles, who sniffs, 'Police dogs are nothing but squirrel chasers.' Although Noodles sleeps at the police station, he enjoys few of the police dogs' honors and comforts....Hinkes tells a lively, engaging story about a heroic tabby, handsomely rendered in appealing, realistic illustrations. A fine addition to the growing list of titles about working animals."-Booklist "Appealing illustrations, feline heroics, and humor (Noodles contemptuously views Truman as having 'no dignity' and being 'useless') lift the story above the general stock group of books about animals saving lives. Though thoughts are ascribed to him, the tabby doesn't speak and is realistically rendered, adding a flavor of possibility to the tale."-School Library Journal
