This review is meant for parents, teachers, and other people that work with children to read.
A boy finds a friend in the kitten that lives in a tree at a construction site. His family feeds him and other cats but can't take him in because they have a dog that doesn't seem to like cats very much. The kitten comes back a lot and the boy continues to love him but can't have him come inside his home. One day the construction is done and the kitten isn't around anymore. All of a sudden, one day he sees the kitten again and he is brought into his life again in a way that he doesn't expect.
I love how this story explained that the kitten adopted people and that he wasn't adopted by them. It reminded me that our kitten adopted us when my brother brought him to us. He was going to "adopt" him when he found him and he asked my mom to take care of him when he was only days old when he wasn't at home very much. She ended up keeping him over here more than over there until she eventually took him into our home. I started to think there are probably a lot of stories like this book describes, about kittens finding people, instead of people finding them.
There are some Hebrew words given throughout the story that are either defined in the sentences they are used in or can be figured out based on what is going on in the story. I like that there is a glossary in the back of the book defining what those words mean as well because I was going to look up what some of the words meant and with the glossary there I didn't have to.
This is a fictionalized version of something true that happened in the author's life, where a kitten found her and some other people.
I received this book free from the publisher for the purpose of reviewing it.
