Customer Reviews

This book will always be close to my heart...

I think I was 11 or 12 when I read this book for the first time. I'm 27 now. It's incredibly special to me because I read it to my sick grandfather in the nursing home. He enjoyed it so much even though it was just a silly little kid story. It brought him so much joy to have his granddaughter share this experience with him before he passed away. I went everyday to read to him and I even read it more than once. What a sweet man to humor a child to help her cope with a hard time even though it should have been his time. It will forever remind me of my grandfather and I will cherish it always. Thanks for reading... this is an adorable book and I loved it!

One of my favorite books.....

I absolutly loved this book! I read it in 1 day. It was so touching. The fact that a mother cat would not even attempt to save her kitten when a little girl took her away was heartbreaking. Anyone who hasn't read this book yet should without a doubt read it. Children who are animal lovers would love it! The mother cat judged the kitten by the fact that he wasn't a good barn cat. He was meant to be a house cat and the mother should've accepted tha! If you have no idea what I am talking about then stop reading my review and pick up the book!

15 years down the road

I read this book, and reread it, and reread it (the binding came apart eventually) when I was a small child, and now I'm looking for a copy so I can read it again. :) I must say it taught a 5-year-old how to understand a cat and befriend a cat better than any parental lecture did.

Purr-fect book!

Cat Walk is a wonderful book.It's about a barn cat who wants to have a name but he needs a human to give him a name, so he has to be a pet. He goes through a lot of names and tries to find the right name for himself. I think this book was exciting, funny, and sometimes sad. I also like this book because it has a lot of animals and I like animals more than anything in the whole world!

It was a great book because.....

It was exciting, funny and sort of sad. I also liked the book because it had cats and dogs and those are my favorite animals.
