Oh huzzah, I'll get to continue my summer reading booktalk tradition now three years running of doing a booktalk from the point of view of a cat! This is super adorable. Perfect for the new generation of readers who thrive on chapter books with not too many words on the page and some pictures thrown in for interest. The voice of the cat is endearing and sassy and perfect, and I also learned that my husband and I are not the only people who call the thing where cats nudge you with their head a "head boop."

This is a very fun book that would work well for students who enjoy Bad Kitty. It's an early chapter book with many illustrations and lots of humor.

Cute, but got repetitive. I guess that's the case when it's a kid's book. I'm just glad they all got a happy ending.

This is a cute book that would be really good for young chapter-book readers. I was thinking it would have more of the adult-ish/crazy cat lady humor of Cat vs. Human, but it really was just for younger readers- thus the 2 stars.
(Those 2 stars are just for me and my expectations- not a reflection on the book, really. If that makes sense...)

What else can you expect from the awesome author of Cat vs. Human besides an adorable and amusing beginning chapter book about a cat finding his "pet"?
It's a fun perspective, the cat's-eye view of finding his human. My cat was brought to us in a similar fashion, so I had a great time imagining Harry going through the same steps that Oliver did. And I liked that Oliver was in denial for 4 of the 5 chapters about his staying with "Freckles" and her mom. Just passing through, taking advantage of their tuna-mac-n-cheese and awesome supply of boxes to play in.
This is fantastic for beginning readers, because while the text is minimal, it's smart and does not talk down to its reader. It's very conversational, and kids can easily get into it. It's broken up into reasonably sized chapters for the age-group, and is filled with wonderful illustrations to help tell the story.
I mean, look at that face...
Such a super cute book. I hope there's a second one eventually.
