Anyone with a cat in their lives will recognize the poses, the reactions and the attitude that Won Ton displays.Ī perfect book to share in a poetry unit, this book is appropriate for ages 5-8. The graphite and gouache illustrations are bright and large, making them well suited to sharing with a group. Yelchin has illustrated the book with a playful flair. At the same time, he speaks to the power and connection in animal adoption. It is a book that celebrates poetry, making it approachable and understandable for children.
In a few words and syllables, he captures the life of a cat and the humor of life. Wardlaw’s haiku read as if they were effortlessly written. The book is in turns touching, beautiful, wistful and very funny. His aloof yet cozy manner is captured to perfection here in the poems. Once rescued, Won Ton demonstrates that he is pure cat. The poems form the only text in the book, charmingly telling the tale of Won Ton, a cat saved from the animal shelter by a boy and his family.
This picture book is told in a series of haiku poems. Won Ton: A Cat Tale Told in Haiku by Lee Wardlaw, illustrated by Eugene Yelchin
