Chicago and the Cat at the County Fair — Robin Koontz

It's summertime and the cat is enjoying her hammock. But her friend Chicago the rabbit is ready to go to the county fair. The thought of a cake-judging contest gets the cat moving and together they head for the fairgrounds.

After a thrilling and not too pleasing roller coaster ride, Chicago and the cat take in some of the other county fair fun - a game of chance where Chicago gets a dunking and the cat wins a teddy bear; a bubble-gum blowing contest; the home show featuring a new invention by their neighbor Mr. Walturs; and a hog-calling contest with a surprise winner. Their day ends with a special delivery at their doorstep.

Six easy-to-read chapters will delight fans of this charming and unusual duo. The books in the Chicago and the Cat series are just right for readers who are looking for the appearance of chapter books but are not quite ready to read longer volumes.
