Beschreibung des Verlags
A handsome and totally fetching street cat with a penchant for trouble stars in the new picture book by Judy Schachner, creator of the inimitable, irrepressible Skippyjon Jones
Stretchy McHandsome is not only good looking with his ginger fur, but he has personality that shines as well. Leaving the safety of the McHandsome clan, he stretches himself away from home and all around town. Out and about, he is spotted by a girl with a kindred spirit, who makes him realize the one thing missing from his life is the warm lap of a loving person. How this gadabout finds his true girl makes for a story that is a little bit wild, but a whole lot wonderful.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The youngest of nine feral felines, a likable cat named Stretchy a "butterscotch boy" with one green eye and one blue goes on a life-altering adventure in this rhyming tale. Hoping to take a holiday from his "cantankerous" siblings, Stretchy ventures out alone, leaving scratch marks all over town, visiting with his tiger cousins at the zoo, and more. While lying in a bookstore window, he is spotted by his human soulmate a curly-haired girl named Beanie whose eyes match Stretchy's and the pair are so "smitten" they fall into a dual stretch. When the other McHandsomes, one kilt-clad, come after him, Stretchy's exploits bring friendship into all of their lives. In Schachner's carefully busy and frequently silly mixed-media scenes, Stretchy seems as cuddly and as glad to find Beanie as he is flexible. Ages 3 5.
