review 1: Life hasn't been good for the scrawny stray cat since he lost his family. All of the humans he encounters just yell at him to "get out of here!" It's no wonder he has difficulty trusting the lonely woman who discovers him after a storm. Will things be different for Scrawny Cat?This is a sweet book that takes the POV of a frightened stray cat. It is a perfect choice for humane education, as it stresses kindness and compassion.
review 2: I think this has to be one of my top favorite picture books of all time. It's just so heart wrenchingly sweet. I am not a cat person but this book brings me to tears every time I read it. Scrawny cat is lonely, little and lone. He used to belong to someone but now he wanders the street looking for a friendly home and a good meal.... more But everyone calls him "Get Out of Here". One day, he hides in a little boat and gets stranded at sea. He arrives on shore safely but very hungry. A sailor lady finds him. Will she call him "Get out of here" or will she be nice to him?The illustrations are quite powerful. Those eyes. Those Eyes!!! They will break your heart in the best way possible. less
