SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:
The winner of the 1954
Newbery Award for The Wheel on the School, Meindert DeJong wrote this
story originally published nearly four decades ago.
The Last Little Cat
is now back in print to delight both children and adults. The last
little cat was born in a kennel, surrounded by dogs and dog cages and
dog noises. The little cat was always half cold and half hungry - until
the day it fell into the cage of the old, blind dog. Then, for a while,
the last little cat was warm, and the last little cat was well fed. But
how could such a small cat know that barn doors are closed at night and
that there are people in the world who do not want to help a helpless
kitten? This story of how the last little cat found a home, and not only
a home, but the perfect home, again confirms DeJong's place among the
finest writers of this or any day.
MY REVIEW:
I read this book aloud to my children.
My children and I have soft spots in our hearts for animal
stories, so we fell in love with this book! In particular, I love stories that
feature unlikely friendships, such as the one between the cat and the dog in
this book.
This is the second book by DeJong that we have read, with the
first one being The Wheel on the School
which was the winner of the 1954 Newbery Award. We enjoy this author!
The illustrations by McMullan are adorable!
MY RATING: 5 stars!! We loved it!!
This book qualifies as:
#75 for my 2011 100+ Reading Challenge
