Black Cat by: Christopher Myers

Black Cat was an interesting book that basically just tells the travels of a stray black cat. It goes through and repeats the phrase "Black cat, black cat, we want to know where's your home, where do you go?" periodically throughout the book and then shows where he goes during the day and night. The pictures are absolutely amazing, they look so much like photographs in some spots and then clearly painted in others which creates an interesting balance and is very eye catching. The main reason I chose this book is because as I was first looking through it I noticed that it seems to be in poem form which is interesting. It has miniature stanza type things on each page and for some reason to me reads like a poem. It would be a good book for children to see if they made that connection between the layout of the book and if it was a poem or not. I plan on taking this to my reading buddy and seeing if she enjoys it as much as I do.
