Horatio was a happy cat in a busy home. His owner Mrs. Casey loved looking after animals. There was a pigeon, a dog named Sam and two lively kittens. Then she found homes for the dog and the kittens while the pigeon made a home in a roof nearby. It was quiet, it was lonely and Horatio didn't know what to do. Mrs. Casey planned a party for his birthday but the night before Horatio was curious. He was in a pillow on the kitchen floor but couldn't sleep. His adventure brings about a wonderful experience.
Ms. Lowenton Clymer did a fabulous job with this story. I fell in love with Horatio right away! He is a precocious cat who is set in his ways. Yet even the quiet begins to bother him. She creates a wonderful person in Mrs. Casey. She is so sweet and caring.
My son got this from his school library and I fell in love with it right away. I see that this author has written more with Horatio and I would love to read them. Great kids book for young readers!

Good of son to share his book with you. Thanks for your comments on 'the Book of Fires'. I love it when I have inside knowledge about something in a book and the author shows that he/she did his/her homework and gets it correct. I checked with hubby a few times on details and was delighted with his response.
I do my best to read the book he brings home with him at least once. :) And since my current book is taking so long I thought I'd review them. :)
Yes research shows or lack there of. That had to be so much fun!
