Captain Cat has joined the Army, and boot camp seems a pretty nice place, with soldiers of various races and both sexes sometimes finding a moment between chores and maneuvers to say hi to kitty, who "has more stripes than we have." But Captain Cat's truest friend is Pete, who spends so much time neglecting his chores for Captain Cat that he's assigned kitchen duty: "Pete let Captain Cat play with the potato peels." The storyline is fairly slender, but the friendship rings true, and kids will enjoy watching the cat go through his military paces. As always, Hoff's cheerful, expressive cartoons have a welcoming appeal to new readers. (I Can Read Books) R--Recommended.
