Summary: FANTASTIC ! I love animals and this book!
Review: Hi I am 6 yrs old and you may have seem my reviews before. I am a great fan of I can read books. This one is really one of my favorites. I like what Todds parent's did for him. I also like how helpful and patient Mrs. Star was to Todd. But most of all I loved Scruffy! This book also taught me things about cats I didn't know. If you love animals or want one you should read this book. Again the best part is you can read it to your parents and not have them read it to you.

Summary: Fantastic information al book
Review: I am a first grade public school teacher who believes strongly in humane education. One of my children brought this book to school for book share. I was delighted to hear the acturate information that was presented. Many important animal welfare topics where touched upon. It was a wonderful discussion starter for how to be a responsible pet owner. The children were able to ask many relevant questions and get realistic answers. What a great book to read with children who care about animals. My children asked to hear it again and again.

Summary: Not for sensitive children
Review: The child in the story goes to the animal shelter to pick out a kitten. While there were terrific messages about responsible pet ownership, my child was crushed when I had to explain what putting animals to sleep meant. Not something that needs to be in a book for 6 year olds.
