paintermom This book was purchased for my 4 year old daughter, a cat lover. Although this book is written for young children and/or early readers, it thoughtfully conveys the story of Scarlett, the mother cat who rescued her newborn kittens from a fire in an abandoned garage. It teaches children that love and sacrifice is not confined solely to people.
While most of the book is comprised of soft watercolors through the story, a real photo of Scarlett and her new owner is included. Some young children may be upset by the scars Scarlett carries although my child was not.
A great purchase for the right child!
Reading Specialist Praises Scarlett As a reading specialist at a large elementary school, I was delighted to discover The Bravest Cat! The True Story of Scarlett. It is a wonderful book for children (and adults!) of all ages. It paints a very real picture of a wonderful mother cat and her family. It is well written with a flowing sequence of events. This book can be used as a teaching tool with any age child, not only for reading content but also as a model for writing. I also thought the art work was beautiful and was particularly touched by the picture on the final page. This book has been chosen to be a paperback theme book for our latest reading adoption series. I think that alone proclaims its quality and high value. I really would like more information on the real Scarlett. News stories, etc. that offer support would be great. This is a must read book for all animal lovers!WONDERFUL! My daughter and I LOVE this book! What courage! We saw the story of Scarlett on Reading Rainbow and fell in love with her. She's an inspiration for courage and is a great example of the wonders and wonderful creations of the Lord Jesus!
