Jolie's Reading Fun

Happy Hump Day !

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is keeping warm out there in the second polar blast of the year. It is going to be really cold here this afternoon and evening with wind chills below zero. So to me that means stay inside with a good book and some tea or hot cocoa. I have my last Jan Brett to share with you today although there are many more to check out so on Friday I will put a list of some of the books she has I didn't share. I hope you will share the books with your children or grandchildren.

Today's book is Comet's Nine Lives. I especially loved this book because it is about a cat. I have a cat that lives with me and he is quite the character. So I really enjoyed this book by Jan Brett. I know the children will too.

Comet's Nine Lives

Jan Brett

Comet was born on Nantucket Island which is off the coast of Massachusetts. This is a lovely story about a cute cat who travels around the island getting into all kinds of trouble. First he eats some foxglove and falls asleep and realizes he has lost the first of nine lives every cat has when he is born. So he decided maybe he should find a home. So he goes to a bookstore and settles down on some bestsellers to take a nap. Life was good in the bookstore until one day it rained and all the islanders hurried inside for something to read on a rainy day. In the rush, all the books fell on Comet and he realized he had turned the page on life number two. So Comet decided he needed some fresh salt air so he headed out to sea on the Jean T. Once out to sea a storm washes him off the boat so he loses life number three. Comet has some adventures with a tuba, the ice cream shop, the bicycle, the theater, and the ocean. Finally, he decides he needs a safe home since he has lost eight lives and only one remains. Check out Comet's Nine Lives and see where he ends up for his home. This is a really fun book about a cat and his nine lives. Children will love it I guarantee. :)
