cat power (2007) by daniel kirk - new book by the author of the marvelous the library mouseI was hunting for a copy of the library mouse to give as a gift but no mouse was to be found instead another delightful book (albeit very, very different) by the same author. a wonderful read aloud book - the book actually comes with a cd where the poems/songs are set to music.
the poem/song hunter
I am a hunter
my senses are keen
Rats find me frightening
birds say I am mean
I'm sharp eyed, lighting clawed,
wealthy in stealth
mice declare I'm no good for their health
To wait by the bushes
to stake out a nest,
to hunt is my nature
it's what I do best!
It's my purpose, my fate, my joy and my habit
to sneak up on my prey
and then
simply
NAB IT!

wow, Dennis will really like this poem, I'll have to wake him up and send him over.
Actually rats scare me--have you seen NY rats? and I'm just a six and a half pound cat!
I am a huge fan of Daniel Kirk's other book "Dogs Rule!" I am loving catching up on all of your book recommendations! What a treasure trove you have here.
