I am a librarian for 5 different staffs in 4 different buildings, and this year I've transported this book back and forth several times from school to school to fulfill teacher requests. As I delivered it once again today, I thought I should probably read it to see what all of the excitement was about. The book has a very nice surprise ending (which is what some teachers use it for), and is one that my mother would have loved, so I guess that endeared it to me even more.

I love this story! Its about a cat that has two homes. While one owner thinks that their cat, Charlie, is out hunting for the night it is actually as a different house. When the 2nd house thinks their cat, Anderson, is out hunting for the day it is at the first house. Eventually both owners find out that their cat is spending time at both houses they change his name to Charlie Anderson. The child in the book can relate to the cat in the story because they also split their time between two homes. This is a great book to read to bring up the topic of divorce.

This book was very cute. I love cats very much and I can relate to feeding a cat and it gets fatter. I deliver a newspaper route at night and there's always this one orange, fat, tabby cat. Me and my siblings named him Garfield. And we decided we would bring him food at night. So i can relate to Elizabeth and Sarah when they want to help a cat they thought was a stray. This book is in my top 5 of children's books read this year so far.

I was expecting a sad losing-your-pet book, but it turned out to be a sweet, subtle story about how it's okay to have two families. V. cute.

Reminds me of one of my grandmother's cats.
