Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The charm of the text is that we see everything anew, from
the cat’s perspective.”
—Chicago Tribune
“[A] wry, heartwarming
title that’s sure to find wide acceptance in the classroom and beyond.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“Wardlaw’s terse,
traditional verse captures catness from every angle…Perfect pussycat poetry for
anyone who has ever loved a shelter cat.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Wardlaw has a fine
understanding of the feline mind, and each seventeen-syllable poem packs a big impact…A
surprisingly powerful story in verse.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Written in clever and evocative haiku, this delightful story follows Won Ton as he settles into his new home and neighborhood. This cat clearly has personality, and James Yaegashi puts a subtle purr in voice as he brings the cat to life vocally.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)
“Children will enjoy
the adventures of a cat named Won Ton as he makes the journey from animal
shelter to his new home and from aloofness to caring…James Yaegashi is
outstanding in delivering the haiku and in making this audio flow from poem to
poem as a story. Within each haiku, he brings auditory delight.” —AudioFile
