Literary Tic Tok of animals. I never thought of at this age
reading a book where the animal, in this case cats, takes on real human
feelings and emotions. In a way it is kind of funny. One point in reading this
book, I could see the animals talking, drinking, and taking on real human
attributes. This book is an anthology. The
stories within these pages are well rounded. You can have a solid beginning,
middle, and end in each one. Every story has some type of meaning or thought
that the author is trying to get across. The story of Forgiveness took the
spotlight for me. In this very short but to the point story gives a great
example on how forgiveness should be granted and how all in the situation can
walk away stronger and better than they came in.
I am a big fan of short stories. These short stories are good
quality stories with an antidote. This is the first time that I have ever
encountered this. The illustrations in the book are very good also. There is a great
companionship shown between the stories and illustrations. They are vibrant and
full of color. With the story that I chose as my favorite, Forgiveness, I could
see the entire story in the illustration. Great job Omoruyi
