A strange and at times frustrating story – postmodern in many ways – by one of science fiction and fantasy’s most acclaimed authors, ‘Schrödinger’s Cat’ is concerned with something that preoccupied Joseph Conrad: the reality of our perceptions of the world, and the link between language or storytelling and ‘the real’. This poignant, educational picture book introduces children (and their parents!) to “fishing cats,” a special kind of wild cat native to South and Southeast Asia. The Little Lost Fishing Cat follows a family who take in Felena, a fishing cat, but then abandon her in a heavily forested area. Felena draws on her courage, grit, and resilience to learn the ways of the wild and finds a new home. The Little Lost Fishing Cat is ripe for discussion, with themes of environmentalism, conservation, global cultures, and so much more. Lost and Found Cat by Doug Kutz, Amy Shrodes, and Sue Cornielson When a devastating disaster strikes, plunging the Clans into turmoil, it is up to Blazestar of ThunderClan, Mistystorm of RiverClan, Fernshade of ShadowClan, and Breezewing of WindClan to set aside their long-standing differences and unite as one. With their territories ravaged and resources scarce, the leaders face a race against time to find a new home for their Clans. Beneath the pressure of torments such as these, the feeble remnant of the good within me succumbed. Evil thoughts became my sole intimates -- the darkest and most evil of thoughts. The moodiness of my usual temper increased to hatred of all things and of all mankind; while, from the sudden, frequent, and ungovernable outbursts of a fury to which I now blindly abandoned myself, my uncomplaining wife, alas! was the most usual and the most patient of sufferers.

These visual challenges will keep young cat lovers entertained on rainy days or long car rides, and they’re good for mental acuity, too!

one of the admirable bits is that there are a lot of art history lessons in here, as the pair weave their way through famous paintings, sculptures, tapestries, etc, all of which are discussed in more detail in the afterword for budding artnerds. Buell, Ellen Lewis (17 March 1957). "High Jinks at Home". The New York Times Book Review, as quoted in Nel 2007, pp.9–10. {{ cite news}}: CS1 maint: postscript ( link) Upon the fourth day of the assassination, a party of the police came, very unexpectedly, into the house, and proceeded again to make rigorous investigation of the premises. Secure, however, in the inscrutability of my place of concealment, I felt no embarrassment whatever. The officers bade me accompany them in their search. They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I quivered not in a muscle. My heart beat calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence. I walked the cellar from end to end. I folded my arms upon my bosom, and roamed easily to and fro. The police were thoroughly satisfied and prepared to depart. The glee at my heart was too strong to be restrained. I burned to say if but one word, by way of triumph, and to render doubly sure their assurance of my guiltlessness.

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat by Amy Tan and Gretchen Schields Buell, Ellen Lewis (17 March 1957). "High Jinks at Home". The New York Times Book Review, as quoted in Fensch 2001, pp.124–125. {{ cite news}}: CS1 maint: postscript ( link)Le Guin’s story is named after the famous thought-experiment designed to explain quantum physics – the cat in the box may be alive or dead, and until you open the box you have to act as though the cat is both alive and dead – and, sure enough, the story climaxes with such a speculation about a literal cat in a box. Geisel gave two conflicting, partly fictionalized accounts of the book's creation in two articles, "How Orlo Got His Book" in The New York Times Book Review and "My Hassle with the First Grade Language" in the Chicago Tribune, both published on November 17, 1957. [8] In "My Hassle with the First Grade Language", he wrote about his proposal to a "distinguished schoolbook publisher" to write a book for young children about "scaling the peaks of Everest at 60 degrees below". [11] The publisher was intrigued but informed him that, because of the word list, "you can't use the word scaling. You can't use the word peaks. You can't use Everest. You can't use 60. You can't use degrees. You can't..." [11] Geisel gave a similar account to Robert Cahn for an article in the July 6, 1957, edition of The Saturday Evening Post. [8] In "My Hassle With the First Grade Language", he also told a story of the "three excruciatingly painful weeks" in which he worked on a story about a King Cat and a Queen Cat. [12] However, "queen" was not on the word list, nor did his first grade nephew, Norval, recognize it. So Geisel returned to the work, but could then think only of words that started with the letter "q", which did not appear in any word on the list. He then had a similar fascination with the letter "z", which also did not appear in any word on the list. When he did finally finish the book and showed it to his nephew, Norval had already graduated from the first grade and was learning calculus. Philip Nel notes, in his dissection of the article, that Norval was Geisel's invention. Geisel's niece, Peggy Owens, did have a son, but he was only a one-year-old when the article was published. [13]
