Groucho's Eyebrows

Tricia Brown

Description

Groucho’s name is obvious to Kristie when she names her new kitten. He’s as white as a cloud everywhere except for those two black smudges above his eyes. What other name could she have given him? Kristie and Groucho become fast friends and playmates, reading together, snuggling under the quilt, and playing hide?and?seek, tracking games in the snow of a far north winter.  When Grouch wanders away one wintery day, Kristie must rely on her Alaskan outdoor skills and woodsy savvy to follow various animal tracks.  Young readers join her in a search for those precious black eyebrows in a scary, snowy world full of moose, fox, and other creatures of the wild.
“Kristie didn’t have to go far to discover what was making those strange tracks. It was just a fat porcupine sweeping the snow with his tail. She sighed with relief, Well, at least Groucho isn’t hurt

Groucho s Eyebrows
K ristie stamped the snow off her boots and burst in the front door. Frosty air swirled in around her. Ever since she d stepped off the bus, she had been wanting a hot mug of cocoa with marshmallows. But she forgot all about it when she saw what her mother was holding.

O-o-o-o-h, Mom! Is he ours? Does he have a name? Can I hold him? The questions came tumbling out.



A s Kristie ran her hand over the kitty s back, he arched against her warm touch and seemed to smile.

Yes, he s ours, her mother said. Well, yours, really. And no, I don t know his name. But those funny eyebrows remind me of a famous man who made people laugh.
