Here's my review of another cat book that caught my eye. Remember ratings are out of a possible 4 paws.
“City Cat, Country
Cat” by Patricia Cleveland-Peck with illustrations by Gilly Marklew
Age: 3 and up
Genre: Fiction, Picture book
Freckle the cat lives in the country on a farm with a boy
named David. Charlie the cat lives in the city with a girl named Sarah. Both
cats enjoy eating, sleeping, and playing with their owners (when they feel like
it). Both cats disappear, sometimes for days, but always come back. Where do
they go? We soon find out. Freckle and Charlie have something else in common,
which the owners are surprised to discover in the story’s end. Though the text
is a little long at times, this story is overall one young readers will enjoy.
It’s a quiet story with not a lot of action, but much like a cat’s day, full of
everyday joys. I think readers who like cats will have fun following the lives
of Freckle and Charlie. Recommended for ages 3 and up. This book is currently
out of print, so look for it in your local library.
