"A Best Friend for James" Review by Kelly

Kelly’s Article

“A Best Friend for James”, written by Jeannie E. Casey Thomas with Rae Thomas and illustrated by Judy Doudoukjian and James Thomas, is about a boy named James who always wanted a pet cat.  He loves animals.  His first cat he had used to hiss at him and would never let him pet it.  Then his dad brought home a new cat he rescued from his job.  He named that cat Cocoa.  Because he was sweet like cocoa.  Every day when James was at school Cocoa would sleep in James’s chair.  And when he came home from school Cocoa would come up to him and purr at him.   At night Cocoa would sleep in his bed next to him.  James accidently let the cat outside when he went to play.  The cat was missing for a week.  He looked everywhere in the house but Cocoa wasn’t there.  He looked outside.  He looked around for the cat.  Then he found the cat stuck in the vent.  It was a good book.  But I wish it could have been longer story.  It was too short.
