The House Cat (Picture Books)

One of the many children's books I've gotten out of the library that I have since bought.The titular Cat of this story lives in a two-family, but doesn't consider either family his ("Tom Cat") owner, but when one family decides to make their own decision about that, it's up to Tom Cat to set the record straight.The book explores the curious way a cat can find its way home when it's been surplanted elsewhere and also just what the definition of "home" is. Perhaps more importantly, however, is the message: There's more than one way to LOVE a cat!The text had many repetitive phrases which I can now leave out and have my 3 year old son fill in for me. This is also a book that I am sure my son will enjoy reading on his own when he is older.Beautifully illustrated as well!
