The story of how Florida’s panthers were saved from extinction is one that both deserves and needs to be told.” —Dane Huckelbridge The captivating tale of the Florida panther, its survival and rescue from extinction With novelistic detail and an eye for the absurd, Craig Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle. This being Florida, there's more than a little weirdness, too. An engrossing narrative of wry humor, sharp writing and exhaustive reportage, Cat Tale shows what it takes to bring one species back and what unexpected costs such a decision brings.

Jan was born in London England. She worked in radio. Word got out that her boss, Rick, was a serious friend of felines. Six cats took up residence. Dusty, a silver kitten, made herself at home in Jan’s outbox. Each cat had an account at the vets and was written off the radio station’s taxes. The IRS accepted the deduction. The cats were banished when the station was sold. Dusty joined Jan’s family. The author had an epiphany as she watched the cat interact with her grandchildren. She realized a cat could convey gentle insightful messages to empower children. Illustrations add another layer to inspire parents, teachers, siblings, and friends, and all children ages four to a hundred and four to enjoy and share the fun. With love and appreciation to Marissa, Braum, Jackie, and Asher, who is named Forrest in the story.

To the Land of the Cattails evokes the uncanny atmosphere of Europe on the brink of the Holocaust with the same dreamlike realism that made The Age of Wonders a modern classic. In the summer of 1938, a Jewish woman living in Austria, suddenly gripped by a longing for her native land, departs with her adolescent son for the interior of Eastern Europe. As she proceeds, the landscape turns increasingly ominous and her son progressively more loutish. Just short of their goal, the young man falls into a drunken stupor. When he finally rouses himself and rushes to join his mother he is told she has been shipped off on a mysterious train to an unspecified destination. To the Land of Cattails is a haunting parable of the human spirit and an unforgettable account of the destiny of modern European Jewry.
