ANTON AND CECIL: CATS AT SEA
Book ID/图书代码： 14560013B60625
English Summary/英文概要： Orange Prize-winning author Valerie Martin and Lisa Martin introduce Anton and Cecil, cat brothers whose shipboard journeys take them to places and creatures beyond their wildest imaginings.
Cat brothers Cecil and Anton are as different as port and starboard. Cecil, stocky and black with white patches, thirsts for seafaring adventure as he roams the docks of his harborside home, taking daytrips on fishing boats when the chance comes along. Slim, gray Anton prefers listening to the sailors’ songs at the town saloon, venturing to port only for the day’s catch. But one day when Anton goes in search of fresh mackerel, he’s taken aboard as a ratter on a ship bound for the high seas.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 貓咪最討厭水
卻陰錯陽差展開一場航海王的冒險旅程Cecil 和Anton雖然是兄弟，外表卻長的很不一樣，個性也天差地遠。
Cecil是隻穿著白襪子的黑貓，矮胖健壯，個性衝動充滿夢想。他喜歡跑到碼頭閒晃，在燈塔上俯瞰往來的船隻，渴望展開一場壯麗的航海王旅程。
Anton個性穩重謹慎又纖細，是隻灰色苗條貓，喜歡待在鎮上酒吧聽水手唱歌。碼頭和海洋對他而言太冒險，只有覓食時他才會出現在那裡。
但命運就是那麼「湊巧」，文靜的Anton被人類抓到遠洋船上捕老鼠。雖然對海洋一無所知，為了搭救兄弟，Cecil搭上了另一艘船。誰也沒想到這趟營救任務變成一趟充滿危機和驚嚇的大冒險！
Anton得和凶猛的老鼠大戰、智取飢餓的海鳥，也交到生死與共的朋友。
Cecil遇見美麗的海豚和鯨魚，但也面臨海盜的攻擊與洗劫！
同樣一座大海，卻有著截然不同的境遇，茫茫大海之中，這兩隻貓能不能找到彼此，重返故鄉？
生動的書中角色、豐富的歷史細節、充滿情感如吟唱般的文筆，適合《柳樹間的風聲》(The Wind in the Willows)、《一家之鼠：小不點司圖爾特》(Stuart Little)以及《Poppy》等經典動物歷險記的粉絲們(Eva)
