The Cat With Seven Names by Tony Johnston - OPTIONAL


Johnston, Tony The Cat With Seven Names, 31 pages. $16.95. Language: G (0 swears, 0 “f”); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.  PICTURE BOOK.  

This story is told from the point of view of six people in a neighborhood who run into the same cat who wants food and love. He means something different to each person. It tries to teach about community, but does so weakly; I think there are better books about teaching community than this book. 

EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL. Reviewer: AS, 2nd grade teacher
