The illustrations are very eye catching for young children. My5 yo child enjoyed learning about Italy. She was interested to learnmore about why a city would have streets of water. This book was a huge hit. We must have read this book at least six times the first week after getting it.

This book is a great springboard to learning possibilities such as cats, adoption, fatherhood, gondolas (boats), and Italy. The inside front cover has information to inhance the understanding of the book. Information given on Marco Polo, Venice, Italian words and phrases, and more.

I'm glad to have this book as part of our home library.

I bought this book for my daughter and she loved it! And I found an adult companion book on Amazon: "Chats de Venise" by Robert de Laroche, that I loved, but it turned out to be handy with her, because I could show her the pictures of the real cats in Venice, like Papa Piccolo and his "found" kittens!!

We read this book as part of the Five in A Row unit studies. This book really made my kids want to visit Venice. The ending made them laugh and they enjoyed the end over and over again.

We used this book as part of a literature curriculum called Five in a Row. It was one of our favorites. Note the art, the allusions to fatherhood, the language, the taste of Italy, and the sweet storyline. Lovely book for boys or girls.

My daughter and I just read this book last week. It is a great book and I'm glad to have it in our library! :)

If you have a child who loves cats as much as my son...a lot...then I definitely recommend this book! It is a very sweet story with nice illustrations as well. We read it five days in a row (as part of our homeschool curriculum) and he still requests it just for fun. If you enjoy quality children's literature and cats, I don't think you could go wrong by purchasing this story!

Classic book for sure! Your kids will enjoy this over and over.. mine did!
