Opening lines:
Loki the cat likes to daydream a lot!
Sometimes he's a pirate-- or lost astronaut.
He pretends he's a cowboy, or hero or spy.
There is no adventure that Loki won't try!

I guess I'm going with Seussy. The Raven stanza is my favorite English form (Welsh forms are my absolute favorite), but I think this requires something safe and familiar with a strong sing-song rhyme on the final accent.
(Erm, at this time I would like to formal-ist-ly apologize to Lewis Turco for modeling this book on a Seuss quatrain when so many more interesting forms are available. I have no excuse other than it seems to speak to kids.)
But oh, just from this opening verse I can tell this is going to be fun to illustrate! :D
