CHAPTER ONE
The Six Kittens
"On a cold Autumn evening, when a fierce wind bent the trees and dashed russet and copper and gold leaves into the gutters, when people retired from the raw night to sit by warm fires that hissed and spat from moisture falling through their chimneys, a beautiful white cat named Sarabande gave birth to six lovely kittens."
Unfortunately, Sarabande's owner, Mrs. Edith Edge, is most displeased. Sarabande is a pure bred Persian cat, and all six kittens are different. Ahem... Somebody wasn't paying proper attention to Sarabande.
FRONT FLAP
"On a cold and rainy night Little Bo, a tiny gray kitten, finds herself all alone. She has been taken away from her family and she is lost and afraid. Then Bill appears, and Little Bo finds an instant human friend - and an adventurous new life. But Bill is the first mate on a fishing boat, and the captain does not like cats. How will Be be able to stay aboard?"
The incomparable Julie Andrews (1935- ) has written over two dozen children's books. The Little Bo Series continues with Little Bo in France, Little Bo in London, Little Bo in Italy. We also love The Very Fair Princess series.
Award-winning artist Henry Cole (1955- ) has written and/or illustrated nearly one hundred books for children.
