The story of Captain Kidd's life and death told from the perspective of his cat, McDermot. The tale is rather a sad one with Kidd being betrayed by everyone he believed he could trust.

[Jane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Poor Captain Kidd - he was set up. In this telling of the story by McDermot the cat, Kidd is a likable guffin who trusts all the wrong people and end up at Tyburn with a rope around his neck as a result. The good news in this sad story is that McDermot lives happily after. Lawson's pen and ink illustrations are marvelous. As a child I used to stare entranced at the color cover which showed McDermot's pierced ear with its ruby ring. Today I look instead at Moko and Koko, the African innkeepers, as they defend McDermot from an unscrupulous showman and I wince.

It took awhile to read, only because I was reading it to the boys as our night time book, and life got very busy.

I don’t know that the kids understood half of what was going on, but it was fun for me to learn more about Captain Kidd, at least from a cat’s perspective. We took a trip to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum, and discovered they have a small display of relics from a sunken ship believed to be Captain Kidd’s - I felt more knowledgeable having been reading this book.

This is a very entertaining read. I recommend it to the readers of all ages.

[Patrick · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not as pleasant a read as Mr. Lawson's two other animal-perspective biographies but still remains quite a fun read-aloud story with the family. The vocabulary is expansive!

I found this book in middle school. Bought it from the school library for $.25. I've read it so many times and am still able to get lost in the adventure. If you love books such as Ben & Me, you'll adore this amazing book. It brings back so many childhood memories for me.

My parents bought this book for me when I was a kid, and I saved it to share with my own.

I do have to confess that this book has made me fantasize about piercing my cats' ears for the last 30years =P
