Ghost Cat by Kevan Atteberry - OPTIONAL

Ghost Cat by Kevan Atteberry.  PICTURE BOOK. Neal Porter (Holiday House), 2019. $19.  9780823442836

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

The little boy used to have a cat, but now he only sees and feels the ghost of a cat around his house. 

The illustrations in this book are just the right amount of dreamy and intrigue as the boy tries to follow the cat.  However, I was not enamored with the end of this book.  

SPOILER ALERT









 – the boy ends up finding a kitten on his doorstep and then in the last picture it is asleep on his bed.  I’d hate for a child to think that is the best way to get a pet. And I’m pretty sure a parent wouldn’t appreciate that message either.
