Summary: Purrrifictly Good!
Review: It might have taken me a little while to read this book, but it was fabulous. There wasn't a part that I really liked the best because I enjoyed the whole book. If you like cats, birds and funny stories you will love this book.

Summary: Lots of Fun!
Review: My nine-year old daughter loved this book. The Wallace's tell this story from the animal's perspective, and do so with great success. Being country-dwellers, and animals owners, we could totally relate to all of their thoughts and antics. Gray, the new cat, along with Callie, the older (and wiser) cat, and their yard-mate Bullsnake share their lives with Mama Bird, Papa Bird and their babies. Find out what happens to Flea, the baby bird, when he takes comfort on top of Gray's head! Find out what happens when Gray visits the barn full of rats! The illustrations add much to the story.

Summary: The Flying Flea, Callie, and Me Wallace,Bill and Carol
Review: This book is about a cat that adopts a baby bird that has fallen out of it`s nest because the cat, Gray, doesn't like to eat birds. (Whoever heard of a cat that doesn't like to eat birds?) And when the bird (Gray calls Flea) goes south for the winter Gray is sad because she taught her how to fly.

I thought this book was funny.

Summary: A real cat's-eye view!
Review: This was a highly enjoyable book. I thought it was a good representation of the young cat's point of view. Gray wonders about the brown hose that slithers (Bullsnake, actually rather shy and grumpy), about what Bird is making a nest for, about the really GIANT mice (rats) in the barn. Callie (the old cat) helps keep Gray out of trouble, and the Flea is charming. My daughter is starting to read chapter books and has liked this one a lot. It has plenty of fun illustrations and exciting action. I understand the authors have written two more books about Gray Cat, and we are waiting anxiously to see them.
