K-Gr 2--When Victor adopts Teelo, a soon-to-be-homeless cat, and takes him to his peaceful little cabin on Cloud Island, Teelo is thoroughly pleased with his idyllic new life. Then, in quick succession, Victor brings home a rooster, three hens, a terrier, a snake, and a parrot. Each new animal brings more disruption to Teelo's ordered life as, one by one, his favorite napping spots are usurped by a newcomer. Upon overhearing Victor tease about how quiet a visit to Thunder Rock would be compared to the noise at home, Teelo stows away on the man's kayak. Instead of peace, however, the feline discovers that the pandemonium caused by all of the wild creatures is overwhelming and he is happy to return home. The tale's moral is reminiscent of the many variations of the Yiddish folktale "It Could Always Be Worse." Cheerful, richly colored gouache illustrations reflect the energy and movement of the text. Many of the full-page paintings are surrounded by a single-color frame and reveal the emerald green of the island, the aquas and blues of the sea, the banana yellow kayak, and all of the colorful animals. Large, engaging pictures and repetition of phrases throughout the story make this an enjoyable read-aloud.
