Follow that cat!

BLACK CAT, by Christopher Myers
AR Level: 3.6 Points: .5
Interest Level: Elementary

The reader is taken on a tour of a large city ( I presume it to be NYC) by a black cat—roaming in and out, over, under and on top of setting after setting. The cat goes across streets, sits atop bodega lights, darts in front of cars and rides on the subway, all the while being asked, “Black cat, black cat, we want to know where your home, where do you go?” In the end, the black cat looks at the reader and answers, “anywhere I roam.” The artwork in this book is amazing—it really felt like I was experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of the city, as I read the pages and got lost in the pictures.
