BLACKIE THE FISHER-CAT<br><b>Janet Pereira, illustrations Gabriella Klepatski</b><br><i>Craig Potton Publishing</i>
Grandpop is heartbroken when Nana dies. He misses his best friend.
And then he goes on a camping trip and meets Blackie, a stray cat who loves fishing as much as he does.
Their friendship grows and Grandpop is sad to leave her behind. Luckily Blackie has a mind of her own.
Gabriella Klepatski's illustrations are lovely, especially the studies of the cat in movement and play.
Ages 2-5.
