Finding My Molly is on the National Humane Education Society's recommended reading list This is the first book in Krause' "Kitty Tales Trilogy" for 7 to 11 year old boys and girls. Soupy, the cat, is not allowed to go outside. One day, though, the front door is accidentally left open and Soupy cannot resist seeing what it's like outside. No sooner does he decide that outside is wonderful, when he is chased by a monstrous cat-eating beast. Soupy runs so far trying to escape the monster that he gets lost and must live in a hollow log in the forest. He must form a plan to find his way back home to little Molly, his beloved human-kitten. The next day, though, Soupy finds a tiny, helpless, orphaned baby raccoon in the forest, too. Soupy is now torn; raise the baby or find his way home? He can't do both at the same time. He knows his Molly would never abandon a helpless baby, so neither will he.
