Entertaining for kids; eye-opening for adults

Mr. Bonsall's Molly book is a work of art. In his first bookabout his real-life cat, he has shown us through the eyes of a cat, how the world looks. Children love the book and adults can learn from "Molly".

I love the book!! I read to my nieces and nephews often!!

Everytime my nieces and nephews come to my home, they ask me to read Molly to them!! I'll read it to them three or four times in one sitting!! When they are not here, there's nothing I like better to do than curl up on my couch and read Molly to myself, especially after a rough day at work!! This is an awesome book!!

This has appeal to all ages and young at heart!

Being both a teacher and a counselor I see many books that are aimed at children and have become rather critical of the content and approach. I would recommend this book without hesitation. It is well written with many ideas and approaches that can be expanded on all the way from the issue of abandonment and security of family and friends (in human and animal form)to just plain fun. It is written on the child's level but has concepts and vocabulary that challenge thought. It's a winner.It is in its second printing so I am not alone in this opinion.Don't miss it.

A delighful book to be enjoyed by children of all ages!!

Being a long-time Oak Ridge Boys' fan, I guess most people would think I'm not very subjective in my opinion of this WONDERFUL work so I put this book to the toughest test I could think of.....my second grade class. They absolutely LOVED it and asked me to read it to them again and again....every day during storytime for a week. To me, their opinion speaks VOLUMES!!! So you see, my feelings were not as biased as even I had thought!!!

Molly is a special book

Joe really knows how to see things from a cats point of view and describes it wonderfully.The illustrations really capture the image of Joe's cats.
