The Cat Who Liked Potato Soup There was an old man, an ol’ Texas boy, who lived with an uppity old cat — a cat who’d rather eat potato soup than catch blackbirds, a cat who liked to sit on the bow of the old man’s fishing boat like she was a hood ornament. “Fool cat,” the old man would say. “You ain’t nobody’s prize.” But when the unexpected happens, they both learn that even the most cantankerous love can lead to acts of heroic proportions. With down-home language that’s a joy to read aloud, Terry Farish tells a wry love story about an unlikely pair of curmudgeons, brought to life in glowing illustrations by Barry Root.
Customer Review: Cats
Great book for any cat lover
author of “Hobo Finds A Home”
Customer Review: NOW THIS IS ONE I COULD RELATE TO!
This is the simple story of a old man and his old cat. Being an old man and a lover of cats, I certainly could relate to this particular story. There is a certain sadness to the book, but a happy sadness and a great ending. The author has told a simple tale that will appear to just about ever age. I read this one to the kids in my classes and they love it. The illustrations are great and fit perfectly with the text. I cannot remember when I have enjoyed reading a book to the young ones as much as I enjoyed this one. Recommend this one highly.
