Kitty is relocated and forgotten, so she sets out for home across France.

The story is good, but the illustrations are wonderful, reminding me of the Expressionist period of art. Very nice. ( )

The cat and the old woman have lived happily together for many years in the stone house by the sea. But when the old woman dies, the cat is packed up with her belongings and sent north to the village where she was born. Soon he is forgotten. He walks the streets aimlessly until, spurred by memories and a longing to return to the place he knows and loves, the cat embarks on a journey to find the home he was taken away from.

This was a very moving story about a cat travelling the word to return home. Even though, there are new people in his new home, they treat him well and he is happy to be back to a place he remembers.

A teacher could ask her students to write about a time they traveled to an exciting place and write about what they did and why they traveled there. The teacher could also ask their students to write about a place they want to travel to and why. ( )

A cat who lives on the seaside in the south of France is displaced after his beloved owner passes away. He finds himself on the crowded streets of Paris and he wants to find his way back to Provence. This is the story of his journey through the countryside and the people whom he meets along the way.

I think the illustrations are oil paintings. The brushstrokes are visible in these rich landscapes and cityscapes and the reader has the impression that the artist sat outside with an easel and painted them.

I like this book because it's pretty and it offers some beautiful reminders of countryside of France: castles, canals, fields of lavender, train tracks.

I don't think this story would be very good for teaching story arc; however, it might be useful for eliciting vocabulary and descriptions associated with the drawings. For example, we can see the Pont du Gard,the Eiffel Tour, and some castles. It would be nice to talk about what those things are. ( )

I loved this book! Such a fun way to view a new place. The perspective of the cat was funny too!
