Description: Jack keeps a pet tiger named Lily and lives at 33 Riverside Apartments in New York. Jack and Lily spend their days happily together, until one day trouble arrives. A frightening man named Mr. Mudd and his ill-tempered dog Pip become the new owners of the apartment building. Mr. Mudd, who dislikes cats, tells Jack that Lily has to go. Jack and Lily rack their brains but can't come up with a solution, so all they can do is hope for a miracle. And that night, a miracle really does happen — a burglar breaks into Mr. Mudd's apartment! The plot itself is simple, but the illustrations tell an even richer story. True to the praise that the author is "a writer who adds delight to ordinary stories with witty pictures," this book weaves a warm and gentle tale through spare dialogue and simple narration, paired with distinctive illustrations framed in yellow borders and rendered mainly in purple, blue, and green.
