i have never forgotten this book

in elementary school we actually watched this as a movie too. this was one of the most profound books that i have ever read. it would make me sob! but it is such a great book to encourage compassion and remind "tough" children that it is ok to be tender and to show that you love something...

Great influence

I was a 4th grader in a lot of trouble and detached from school. Our librarian gave this book to me and I read it hundreds of times that year and the next. I rememberd it only recently. I now work as an international photojournalist and assume that Gordon Parks images kept me intersted in literacy as a child and had a profound impact on the course of my current career. This book was to me what the kitten was to J.T.- a saviour.

Great book for reluctant readers

I have used J.T. for years to reach reluctant readers. The pictures and dialogue give an easy context for lower readers to decode and comprehend the text. J.T. is a wonderful character that anyone can relate to. The copies I have are falling apart from much use and love.

It stole my heart in 2nd grade; I remember it fondly still..

This was one of the books my second-grade class had to read on our own. I remember that it almost made me cry because I felt so sorry for that poor boy, JT. It's the first book that I loved so much. Terribly sad, but at the same time, I have wanted to reread it for quite some time. And I finally found it here!

It was a sad book, but it was a good one.

I'm really close with cats so I understood this book. I was good the way that J.T. put the radio back. That meant he was on the road to becoming a good kid again. I liked the book but it wasn't my type... I usually like more adventure.
