Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- Anna is a timid kindergartener who takes no joy in her new school clothes or her classmates. Instead she frequently dissolves into tears and refuses to talk. Referred to a child psychologist, Anna begins to express herself through drawing and puppetry. Eventually her father videotapes her version of "Puss 'n' Boots," which Anna willingly shows to her class. Their approval encourages her to begin speaking and making friends. The simple, straightforward text is obvious in its purpose, and the full-page black-and-white illustrations are sensitive and realistic; the soft pencil medium is well suited to showing Anna's unhappiness. With appropriate adult direction, this would be a useful bibliotherapeutic tool either to help a child who has this problem or to gain the sympathy and understanding of others. --Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA

Cheesy and not helpful,
By K. Magnuson (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cat's Got Your Tongue?: A Story for Children Afraid to Speak (Paperback)
I was recommended this book to help my daughter with Selective Mutism - but the book is barely readable, and so preditable, even my daughter couldn't stand it. I'm not sure we even made it through the whole book once. A total waste of money.
We did much better once we got away from the feel-goodery type of therapy and saw a doctor who addressed the issue with medication.

This review is from: Cat's Got Your Tongue?: A Story for Children Afraid to Speak (Paperback)
I used this for a selectively mute child in grade 2. I read it with her and then the teacher read it with the class. The teacher liked using it and felt it increased understanding in the class of the girl's difficulties. I keep it in my library at school. I am a school psychologist so I am sure I will be using it again.
