'One of the thirty 20th-century children's books every adult should know.'--The Horn Book. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - A book that will gently change your child's life I read this book in childhood and never forgot it. When I read it, I was really too young to fully grasp its profound message of compassion, faith and forgiveness, and the miracles they can evoke in our lives. Over the years, I revisited this book - even in adulthood - and found something new in it every time. Its impact in my life has been subtle, patient and gentle, yet affirming and illuminating. Decades after I first read this book, I became a mother. I began telling this story to ...

I had no idea it was considered a children's book until I came to Amazon to buy a copy for a friend :-) This is a wonderful book for ANY cat lover, regardless of age. I read it first as an adult in my 40's and fell in love with it. It is a lovely story and the ending still makes me cry (out of happiness) for little "Good Fortune" and her miracle. I highly recommend buying the edition illustrated by the original ... Read More Rating: - This is a strange little book The Cat Who Went to Heaven, won the Newbery medal in 1931.

I thought about the plot and the time period in which it was first published. I imagine a great many children ...

Any cat lover would be happy with this book, and the little poems have not lost their charm. It has been beautifully reillustrated and I certainly recommend the book. I wish I had looked for it in hardcover, though. Rating: - Stuck with me for 20 years This is one of the best children's books I've ever read. I came across it at my school's library many, many years ago and must have read it 10 times before returning it. I haven't seen it for 20 years, but I think of it often... maybe its time to pick up a copy again! see more Browse for similar items by category: Ages 9-12 - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - General Ages 9-12 - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - General AAS Cats - Animals - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - Fiction Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths - Literature - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - Other Literature - Children's Books - Subjects - Books - General
