This story is told from the perspective of Cat, a young farm cat whose job is to be a mouser. He is to take over the job Callie was doing, before she got too old.

He is a pretty good mouser and is able to present a catch almost every morning, on the front porch for the House People. He is also still learning about the world he lives in.

Come spring a pair of mockingbirds set up housekeeping in a nearby tree. Seems they do this every year. Cat is quite curious to see what is in the nest, but the female bird is quite the dive bomber and able to keep Cat away. If not her, then the male does a good job too.

Over time he finds that there are baby birds, and he watches as they grow and learn to fly. When time comes for the birds to fly south, there is one baby who refuses to fly. Seems she experienced a fall from the nest, earlier, and is now afraid to even try!

When she falls out of the nest and lands on Cat's head, she wants him to eat her and get things over with. All the other birds have left and she has no food. The problem with the request is that Cat doesn't eat birds!

Cat takes on the responsibility of protecting Flea (the name he gives the bird). Seems there are other critters on the farm that consider birds a nice treat. Cat does manage to teach the bird to fly and gets it to fly south, but he also learns a few things about himself.

Another chapter book with illustrations that I bought for the great-gran, but had to read. It was an entertaining story. Hope she enjoys it too. ( )

Endearing & funny thrift store find. I liked how the animals both had their own authentic critter lives, and had lessons about courage, friendship, etc. to teach to young readers. Best for ages about 7-8. I'd consider reading the sequels but they're not in my CLAN and not quite worth buying. ( )

Gray is a young kitten that is chosen to be the new mouse catcher. Callie is an older cat who tries to teach Gray what to do and not to do. One day a mockingbird tries to attack Gray while she was building her nest. After, the bird's baby fell out and Gray starts to take care of her. He decides to name her Flea since "he had a flea once, and he was as hard to get rid of as you are." Gray takes pity on the bird when she asks him to just eat her because it is quicker than starving, so he watches after her so she doesn't get eaten by the rats or the snake. He then teaches her to fly so she can travel south for the winter.

I think that students will like to humor in this story and it will intrigue them enough for them to continue trying to read. Students, especially those who like animals, will really like reading this story.

For the classroom, I would have students read this book and then discuss how real cats are similar and different to the character of Gray. They would make two lists showcasing what they discovered. ( )
