During the week, he napped in a sunny corner of Mitzi Stein's dress shop and begged scrapped from Moshe the butcher. But one night in Berlin, the Nazis changed everything. Life would never be the same. This cat's-eye view introduces the Holocaust to children in a gentle way that can open discussion of this period. "What truly distinguishes this book is the striking multimedia artwork composed of paper, fabric, and drawn images in hues of olive, brown, and red. Interesting angles, textures, and patterns add to the visual effect throughout." "Very informative introduction about the Holocaust describing the experience of Benno who is a cat. I would guess this can be read to / by children in 5th or 6th grade. I use this book as a read-aloud in my 6th grade classroom during our lesson over the Holocaust. It is a perfect introduction to the events on night the Holocaust began, from the perspective of a cat."
