Ezra’s Books: Hi Cat

Ezra’s Books

Hi, Cat!

Viking, 1970

Archie is walking down the street eating an ice cream cone. It’s a beautiful day, and he is on his way to meet his best friend Peter. Suddenly stopped by a newcomer to his neighborhood, Archie says, “Hi, cat!” The cat sits, looks him up and down, and purrs. It turns out to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Keats’s vibrant palette brings this humorous, fast-paced story to life.

Out of Print - but worth pursuing for kids who love hearing the story through pictures.
