Since we are a house with both a bunny and cat, this book was particularly delightful. Clare Turlay Newberry seems to write and draw from real life, and her illustrations make the case that simple pictures are often the best.
Marshmallow
Clare Turlay Newberry 1942
In this story, Oliver is a contented cat whose owner brings home a new fluffy little bunny. The owner is so besotted, she keeps writing poems about bunnies! But it takes Oliver a little bit longer to decide how he feels about this potential new friend.
(Our very best cat ever was named "Marshmallow", he's now in cat heaven, and I can attest that "Marshmallow" does indeed make a wonderful pet name!)
