This is a sweet and funny book about a cat named Ethel. I’m rather partial and was immediately drawn to this book when I spotted it because Ethel is my mother’s name. In this story though, Ethel is a cat, and is described at the beginning as old, fat, black, white, and very set in her ways.
But Ethel doesn’t see sidewalk chalk coming, and she’s not aware that she ought to care about it at all. She goes about her day and her regular routines, but something happens, and it changes Ethel’s outlook – and her look!
The story is wonderful – but stay for the pictures…they are priceless!
