  Cat Heaven Book By Cynthia Rylant
Cat Heaven By Cynthia Rylant. If you have ever been lucky enough to have a special cat in your life, then you know there is a special place called Cat Heaven. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2. Cat Heaven sounds like paradise. A rhyming text describes a realm in which felines are fed from God`s countertop, a place where they no longer get stuck in trees because now they can fly. There are thousands of toys, and soft angel laps in which to cuddle. There is even a quiet time to look back on former homes and loving people. The story has spiritualism and reverence but not in a traditional manner. God is depicted as a kindly older man who washes the cats` bowls and "walks in His garden with a good black book and a kitty asleep on His head." His coloring varies from pink to brown to yellowish tan. The visual impact of the book is stunning. Cats of all colors frolic through the exuberantly hued pages. Vibrant yellows, blues, reds, purples, and greens create a feast for the eyes. Even the color of the text changes to contrast with the background. Whether read as a story to younger children or used in a discussion of the nature of heaven with older ones, this deceptively simple, sweet book is rewarding.Lucinda Snyder Whitehurst, St. Christopher`s School, Richmond, VA Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
