Everyone loves an underdog-especially when he's a cat!

On a rainy morning in 1947, a small gray kitten wandered into the Hamilton Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, two days before the Greater St. Louis Cat Club Show.

A stray kitten. A fancy hotel. A serious contest for pedigreed cats. What could possibly go right?

Curl up with this heartwarming story based on a real-life stray cat

who made international headlines just

by showing up, being himself, and finding a little kindness. . .

Reviews for How Mr. Silver Stole the Show

"""Richly colored illustrations using acrylic gouache are eye-catching and filled with details youngsters will want to study. Based on a true story from 1947, Klise's ""rags to riches"" tale of a homeless feline is heartwarming.""--Booklist ""[K]itty charisma, based on a true story....this tale recounts the arrival of a small alley cat at the elegant Hamilton Hotel, just as the 1947 Greater St. Louis Cat Club Show is getting underway. Though given a hostile reception by the stuck-up cat owners (if not their well-groomed pets), the tiny stray not only gets a warm greeting and plenty of snacks from the hotel staff, but comes back at the show's end to charm the judges into awarding a pair of blue ribbons and to win both a name and a home.... Purr-fect fare for cat lovers, with a bit of sensitivity training slipped in.""--Kirkus Reviews"
