Groucho's Eyebrows: An Alaskan Cat Tale
Autor Tricia Brown Ilustrat de Barbara Lavalleeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2012 – vârsta de la 3 până la 7 ani
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.

The former family pet, on which Brown based her new book children's book, "Groucho's Eyebrows" was a reject at an animal shelter in Fairbanks when Brown found her. ---Anchorage Daily News, Rose Cox, Sept 2003.
Here's a wonderful cat tale about an all-white cat --- except for his black eyebrows --- who wanders away from his little-girl owner in Alaska. {Groucho, the cat] has adventures in the woods before she [her little-girl owner] finds him. This book has a genuinely nice text and really nice drawings. --- Statesman Journal , Oregon, Jan 2004
