A Lesson My Cat Taught Me--Lessons about tolerance and unconditional love,
By Patricia A. Guthrie "anniecollie" (Mid West USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lesson My Cat Taught Me (Perfect Paperback)
Jennifer adopts a second cat to be a companion to her pet Mr. Tickles. When she discovers the cat is blind in one eye, she calls him Uno.
Uno soon shows Jennifer that he is more capable than Mr. Tickles in many areas. This teaches Jennifer that having a disability doesn't always have to be a handicap. Jennifer's school has a new student. Hillary has just moved to town and is in a wheelchair. When Jennifer tries to make friends, Hillary assumes that Jennifer is only feeling sorry for her and that she, like the other kids, thinks something is wrong with her. Jennifer teaches Hillary that she's worthy of friendship, just like Uno taught Jennifer that being disabled doesn't mean being handicapped. This was a charming children's story with an important moral that we all need to learn. The book was illustrated by Nancy Lepri and brought personality to the characters Patricia A.

A Lesson For All Children,
By Erin Collins "Erin" (Wills Point, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lesson My Cat Taught Me (Perfect Paperback)
A Lesson My Cat Taught Me is a delightful, yet educational book.
Weber manages to weave into the story, lessons not only on how to care for a cat, but about the importance of animal rescue and adoption, and the main lesson for tolerance of others who may be different, and learning to not be afraid of those who are challenged in some way. This is a must read for children. Erin Collins, Author, Shadow Walk: The Gathering
