I had this out for validation for about a day, but then things here are getting crazy and it looks like I wouldn't have time to work on anything new until after the new year, maybe. Roger Caras is a good writer, and his animal stories are excellent. I hope someone enjoys the book. Thanks in advance to Shelly for submitting it!

CARAS is on Step One waiting to be validated. I did not submit this book; however, I read it about ten years ago and found it totally absorbing and thought I would point it out particularly for a validator who loves animals or enjoys Roger Caras. I reads several of his books about cats after we adopted our first cat, and sent him a picture of our cat. He replied to me with a short and friendly note. I was saddened by his death but gladdened that his books remain. Cat Lover Lori
