For Every Cat an Angel

Christine Davis has managed to do the nearly impossible: write a story about the forever love between pet-owner and pet that is delightful and charming without being too sugary sweet. She describes the relationship between pet and person that goes beyond life on earth in a way that is enchanting and surprisingly believable. Who's to say it can't happen! The lovely illustrations add magic to this little book that everyone who has loved a cat should read and own.

I was expecting this to be overly saccharine and schmaltzy to the point of humor, but I was pleasantly surprised. This carefully-written gift book is unexpectedly powerful. It offers a gentle portrayal of the love between a person and her cat, and the book is sweet without being soppy. Perfect for all cat lovers.

Book about loss (of a pet cat). Great illustrations. May help with loss. Losing a pet is very common and may be difficult for some students - this book would be great to give to those students. *The vet gave it to me after I put down my cat and I loved it - meant a lot.
