Nine Lives of Aristotle — Dick King-Smith

Dick King-Smith's mischievous narrative and Bob Graham's sweet, humorous watercolors capture the first eight lives of a kitten who's ready to scamper his way into hearts everywhere.

Aristotle the kitten is so adventurous that it's a good thing cats have nine lives. What's even better is that Aristotle has found the kind witch Bella Donna to be his owner. Somehow she is always there when he gets into trouble, whether tumbling down the chimney, tipping over a giant milk jug, or tearing away from a snarling watchdog - just as a truck comes areening by. Is it luck? Or maybe a little bit of magic?
