Cat Wishes Tekijä: Calista Brill
Sweet and short fairytale about a cat and a girl who wish for friendship. Sweet ending and beautifully illustrated. Relies mostly on pictures to tell story, appropriate for younger readers.
This is a lot of fun to read. The rhyming and the cadence are spot on, the sound of “chick” just elevates the flow. This would be a laugh riot at story time. The book is saying that “chicks” or girls can do anything, and yes we can.
When a hungry cat spares the life of the snake he has caught, he is granted three wishes. No believer in such things, the feline nevertheless wishes for some fish to eat, a house of his own, and some company. Imagine his surprise when these wishes are granted one by one, and when the girl who shows up in response to his third wish, has been led there by her own three wishes...
The third picture-book I have read from author Calista Brill, following upon her Little Wing Learns to Fly and Tugboat Bill and the River Rescue, but the first I have picked up from illustrator Kenard Pak, Cat Wishes is an absolute delight. The story is billed as a fairy-tale in the dust-jacket blurb, but I liked how the granting of the cat's wishes could be put down to natural causes, in addition to magical ones. The artwork is beautiful, and I found the feline star here utterly charming. I will definitely seek out more of Pak's work! Recommended to young cat lovers and to fairy-tale fans.… (lisätietoja)
