Anna Marie and the Crazy Gobbles by Gino Hallidy

One morning a little girl named Anna Marie wakes up because a terrible ice storm has broken her window. When a calico cat brings kittens through the broken window, Anna Marie can't wait to show her mommy. But her parents aren't home! She thinks they must be with her grandmother, Toesie. The cat agrees to accompany Anna Marie on her walk to Toesie's house which is five blocks away, as long as her kittens can stay and rest in Anna Marie's bed. They set off for Toesie's, but all the ice from the storm melts, and the bridge across the Rock Creek is flooded. Charles agrees to lead Anna Marie through the woods to a better bridge where they hope they will be able to cross.
