But he forgets the most important thing — inviting Novio Boy! An entertaining sequel to Chato's Kitchen.

Chato Goes Cruisin'

By: Gary Soto
Illustrated by: Susan Guevara
Age Level: 6-9

"After winning a sweepstakes cruise for two, Chato invites his best friend, Novio Boy, along. The two "home cats" find themselves the only felines on a dog-oriented cruise, and the partying canines keep the cats up all night. Then all the pooches become ill, the radio breaks, and the captain sends Chato and Novio Boy out in a small boat to find help… Most noteworthy are Guevara's brilliantly colored paintings, as winsome as ever, and the humorous black-and-white comic-strip insets that extend the fun." — Booklist
