SUMMARY: This book is about a cat, Comet, who is loving life on the East Coast of the United States, when after taking a nap wakes up and finds out that he had lost his first of his nine lives due to his choice of sleep. When this happens, he realizes that he needs to find somewhere safe to live for the rest of his life, so that he doesn't waste any more of his nine lives. He faces many trials and tribulations, like falling off a boat and falling off of a bicycle, he ended up loosing seven more lives. After loosing that many more lives he found a light house, and a cat that lived there with an easy simple and safe life, and Comet decided that is where he wanted to spend the rest of his life. This is a good book to get students writing creative stories about what Comet would do if he was their cat, and where he would go. This is a great story because the pictures also show some foreshadowing that Jan put into her books.
