Publisher's Synopsis
This is a book created for cats and kids, especially for those cats and kids who get into trouble with doors, open doors. These things are mistakes that can be quite traumatic, and sometimes we need to just talk about them, especially if the child blames him or herself for some unwanted results. Enjoy the illustrations and the poetry of Penelope Dyan and be sure to read this book to your child to begin the discussion of what may happen, could happen or has happened; and teach your child to care and take on some responsibility in the process. Keep in mind that the cat also has some responsibility to stay inside, etc., and that a cat will be a cat, just like a kid will be a kid. and a dog will be a dog (especially if the big cat picked on the dog when the dog was a puppy.) We love our pets, but no matter how hard we may try, sometimes things just happen that make us worry and become sad. Based on a sad, but true story, Penelope Dyan introduces us to her cat, Blake; and she is happy to report there was indeed a happy ending, and that Blake the cat now stays inside of the house. A former K-12 teacher, published in 'The Kindergartner, ' as well as in 'Instructor Magazine' and in 'Humpty Dumpty' children's magazine, and an award winning author, Penelope Dyan has put her expertise, love and knowledge of children and animals to very good and practical use with this book!
