cweichel's review
4.0
About a year or so ago I was called in to evaluate papers written by grade seven students. They had been given the first part of this poem and been asked to analyze it. I have been itching to read the rest of the poem ever since. So when I discovered this picture book on display, I had to have it.
It begins with a description of an elderly, gifted wizard, travelling around in search of welcome. This section is all the students saw.
The poem is so much more. There's a lonely sociable cat. Eventually the two characters meet and end up becoming best of friends. Gillian Johnson's magical illustrations bring their shenanigans to life.
