If you have a child between the ages of seven and 10, who can look on Siamese cats with affection (some kids can’t abide the creatures), then The Wish Cat, by Jean Chapman, looks a good bet for a birthday present. It’s about a girl called Margaret who wishes for a Siamese cat and gets a very mischievous one called Lisa.
With photographic illustrations, it costs $2.25.
Also by Jean Chapman and from the same stable (Angus and Robertson) is Sandy the Cane Train ($1.75), an opus for four to-sevens, set in North Queens land, with drawings by Walter Cunningham. Also for the “littlies” at the same price and from A. and R. is Wake Up!
It’s Night, by Carol Odell, with clever illustrations by Penelope Janie.
