Socks

I absolutely LOVE Beverly Cleary books! They are funny, troublesome, and fun! It just seems IMPOSSIBLE not to love these! And we now have a cat, his names is Socks! Well, he looks like he has torn socks actually.

There is no series as far as I know.

About the Main Characters:

Socks- A gray tabby cat that looks as if he is wearing socks.

Marilyn Bricker- A woman who loves Socks with all her heart.

Bill Bricker- Marilyn’s husband who also loves Socks.

Charles William Bricker- Marilyn and Bill’s baby who is born later on in the book and then seems to get all the love and attention.

Mrs. Risley- A babysitter who checks on Charles every now and then but absolutely LOVES Socks.

Nana- Bill’s mother who doesn’t approve of Socks near the baby at all.

Debbie and George- The kids who owned the cat that gave birth to the litter which Socks was in. They are only in the beginning of the book.

What I think about This Book:

I think I explained what I think about this book at the top but I’ll give a little more information.

This book shows that a pet needs attention and love no matter how busy you are. And it shows that a pet could keep at it and try to get you to… re-love itself.

Socks clearly says this and I totally LOVE animals, I think it is horrible to treat any animal like this, no matter what.

On The Back:

Watch out, Socks!

Socks is one very happy cat, He

lives a good life with his nice

young owners, Mr. and Mrs.

Bricker- they play with him, feed

him, and always welcome him

with love into their warm laps.\

Then a new baby arrives. Suddenly

little Charles William is getting all

the Brickers’ attention! Socks feels left out- and to

show it he starts getting into all sorts of trouble!

What will it take to make Socks realize just how

much the Brickers care for him?

I would recommend this book to any cat lover. Young or old.

Enjoy,

Kitty Corner: Otis

The Kitty Corner: Otis

OK, so I guess you could say I'm reading more than my normal “2 books in 2 weeks” but it really depends on 3 things for that to be true, a) how much homework I have b) how long my books are and c) how good they are. So this week, I haven't had a lot of homework, these books are short and REALLY good! The Kitty Corner is like The Puppy Place but with cats. It's another series (Puppy place is like this) that you don't HAVE to read in order so, again, I'm not.

Series: The Kitty Corner

Book #: 2

Author: Ellen Miles

Age Level: 7+

Violence: None

Pages: 85

Main Characters: Otis, Michael and Mia Battelli

          About the Main Characters:

Otis:  Otis is a stray cat found in an elevator by Michael & Mia Battelli and a worker named Pete. At first, Otis is scared but starts warming up to the family. Otis also likes music.

Michael & Mia Battelli: Michael and Mia are brother and sister. Michael is in 5^th grade and Mia is in 3^rd grade. They are both cat fans (unlike me) and have fostered 1 cat named Callie before Otis.

          I would recommend this book for elementary cat lovers. It is a great book and it’s a cool story, especially when they find him in the elevator.

                                                Have a great day,
