About the Book

Award-winning author Lee Wardlaw's books have been honored by such prestigious groups as the American Library Association and the Children's Book Council. Using a Japanese form of short poetry that concentrates on humanlike foibles, Won Ton follows a shelter cat as he gets a new home. When the cat, who considers himself a prince of his kind, is given the name Won Ton, he's aghast. ''How can I be soup?'' he asks. But soup or not, Won Ton and his new owner soon find a way to live happily together.

Review :

"[A] wry, heartwarming title that's sure to find wide acceptance in the classroom and beyond."

-- "Booklist (starred review)"

"Children will enjoy the adventures of a cat named Won Ton as he makes the journey from animal shelter to his new home and from aloofness to caring...James Yaegashi is outstanding in delivering the haiku and in making this audio flow from poem to poem as a story. Within each haiku, he brings auditory delight."

-- "AudioFile"

"The charm of the text is that we see everything anew, from the cat's perspective."

-- "Chicago Tribune"

"Wardlaw has a fine understanding of the feline mind, and each seventeen-syllable poem packs a big impact...A surprisingly powerful story in verse."

-- "Publishers Weekly"

"Wardlaw's terse, traditional verse captures catness from every angle...Perfect pussycat poetry for anyone who has ever loved a shelter cat."

-- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "

"Written in clever and evocative haiku, this delightful story follows Won Ton as he settles into his new home and neighborhood. This cat clearly has personality, and James Yaegashi puts a subtle purr in voice as he brings the cat to life vocally."

-- "School Library Journal (starred review) "
