Captain Cat by Inga Moore*

Captain Cat is a trader but anything he has of value he trades for a cat!  As a result his ship is full of cats and just a few crew members.  The other traders make fun of his lack of financial smarts.  But then the Captain comes to an island where the members witness first hand the value of cats.
This story was inspired by an old Italian tale.  The beginning, middle and end are simply delightful!
My four and a half year old  had me read it to him three times in one day . . . and it is a longer picture book!!
The illustrations add to its charm.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies/skills: predicting, sequencing, cause/effect, inferring, check for understanding
Great for stamina (longer picture book).
