Recently, I spoke with a retired school teacher who has read The Pancake Cat and plans to read it to her granddaughter over Spring Break. Her granddaughter is nearly eight and a solid independent reader who thinks nothing of polishing off a Harry Potter book by herself. This is exactly the audience The Pancake Cat is written for: young, precocious readers who need big words with rich, age appropriate content. Why then, would an adult read The Pancake Cat to a child perfectly capable of reading the book for herself?
As my friend explained, The Pancake Cat is the type of book you read together. It’s the type of book that a teacher reads aloud to an entire class, while the students follow along in their own copy; the type of book you can enjoy one chapter at a time, and then stop for discussion. It is packed full of knowledge, and American culture, and the stuff daily life and learning, and family relationships, are made of. Order a copy for yourself today – and an extra copy so someone special can read along with you. The Pancake Cat is a great book to read and share together. http://www2.xlibris.com/bookstore/search.aspx?q=The+Pancake+Cat
