In which The Five-Year-Old explains how to pick a great book

Mr. Putter & Tabby Stir the Soup by Cynthia Rylant, the latest in a long line of excellent books brought home by The Five-Year-Old.
The Five-Year-Old visits her school library every week. And every week she comes home with a simply fabulous book. Meanwhile, I’ve been lugging home dud after dud.
So I asked her, “The Five-Year-Old, you bring the best books home from school. How do you do it?”
The Five-Year-Old, matter-of-factly: “I look for cats on the cover.”
