"What child couldn't relate to this cat?
Each time I reread the story, I wish I could be using
it with my former students.
It is a wonderful book to have in a classroom library as well as for student writing.
The plot, with its beginning, middle and end, suggests a myriad of possibilities that children could use to relate to their
own experiences.
Your choice of words extends vocabulary. To introduce a thesaurus would enhance a child's
ability to transform your ideas into their own.
The size and variety of print, as well as the placement of words
on a page, is superb!
The illustrations capture the mood and ideas and captivate your audience of readers.
The
artwork lends itself so well to sparking childrens' imaginations, thus encouraging young people to illustrate their own
work.
MEOW enables readers of a variety of ages to embrace your truths over and over again . . . to be caught by the
cat's dilemma and calmed by its conclusion."
