Won Ton by Lee Wardlaw, ill. Eugene Yelchin Henry Holt & Co., (2011)

 

This Haiku tale follows a bony little kitty-cat from the shelter to his new home. He's as suspicious of his new surroundings as he is excited about them. 

Told from Won Ton's perspective we watch him resist everything new...his bed, his food and even his new name.  He's a bit snarky which I love and even a bit tougher than he needs to be, but ultimately we get to see the big softy that he is. My favorite moment is of course is his moment of surrender when he and his new owner lay belly to belly. It makes me smile just thinking about it!

A bony kitty
At first resists his new home
Then makes it his home.
