Okay. I just finished story time with the kids, and for the second night in a row, we read The Cat Who Liked Potato Soup. It's not a new book, and we've read it plenty of times before. But it's been a while. And you know what? Tonight, the book just about made me cry. The writing is sharp. The illustrations are both beautiful and charming. And the characterization is just fantastic. I love this book.
Have you read it?

I love it when someone rec's a book I've never heard of! I'm going to look for it. Thanks!
No, but now I want to! Why don't I have a kid to buy books for?
(Oh wait. As of 13 days ago, I have six nieces and six nephews. Surely one of them is in the right age range?)
HM, my kids are four and six, and they both like it. But I think you should by this one for yourself!
Hello - I was searching the site of the Japanese publisher of my book The Cat Who Liked Potato Soup and this came up as a blog review. Thank you so much. I am happy you and your children are reading this cat's story...two nights in a row! Barry Root captured the man and his cat so perfectly.
Good luck with your dissertation. Terry Farish
