Cat Calloway.... May 15, 2004
In teaching with the book Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, Cat Calloway is a great book to read before an in-depth study of Stargirl. I have found Cat Calloway to be the link I needed to interest my fifth-graders in learning about being different. Cat Calloway is a unique girl, one who could teach everyone a valuable lesson in how to treat others. I will continue to read this book to my students because of the great content. Great work, David.
Greatest Lesson Aug 05, 2001
If you think about it...so much of the pain from childhood came from our peers treating us with disregard or nastiness. This book teaches our children in a beautiful and fun way that we should accept everyone as they are, for their talents may one day change the world we live in... and that everyone's heart and soul matters. I will read this to my child over and over...she reads it over and over to herself!!!
Food for a child's soul May 27, 2001
By Jody S. Zonenchin I ordered this book for my son's 9th birthday. The day it arrived we sat down and I read it to him. We both loved this story, which was a catalyst for a wonderful conversation between us about how he has been like "Cat Calloway" in his life, as well as thinking of ways that he could emulate this beautiful example of how to bring more beauty to this world. He has read it many times, on his own, in the past several weeks. When our family arrived for a visit this weekend he ran to get "Cat Calloway" and announced that he wanted to read them " the best story ever!" I think he was able to identify with "Cat" as well as with the other character in the book - they each represent different sides of himself. Bravo to david Essel for bringing this wonderful book to feed our children's souls!
