“It’s a grand experience, this set of poems, this rumination on the cat and the human condition” ( School Library Journal ).   Boris is a big gray cat who loves sleeping and playing and exploring and hunting. And his owner loves him for all of his simple cat ways.   But Boris, typical as he may be, is part of a much larger story in this moving exploration of love, longing, compassion, and most of all, the continuous give-and-take of companionship.   Newbery Medal recipient Cynthia Rylant’s powerful collection of poems is sure to find its place in the hearts of readers of all ages, especially those who have been lucky enough to experience the many joys and hardships that come with true friendship.   “Makes a great introduction for readers not comfortable with poetry. The poems tell an accessible, compelling story . . . Warm and tender.” — The Horn Book   “With characteristic sensitivity, Rylant addresses one of her cats in a set of conversational free-verse poems—recalling the day she brought him and his sister home from the humane shelter, warning him about predatory eagles, congratulating him on bonding rather than battling with a new neighbor’s cat and on surviving a solitary jaunt into the surrounding woods.” — Kirkus Reviews   “This can be appreciated for the sway of the writing or for its celebration of cats.” — Booklist HMH Books for Young Readers YA poetry;young adult poetry;cat books;cat poetry;cats;felines;adopted cat;adopted pets;animal lovers books;pet lovers books;cat owner books;human condition;human animal connection;free verse poems;animal behavior;cat behavior;middle age woman;midlife;cat stories;humor;devotion;nature;newbery medalist;american literature;american poetry;american poet DE,GB,US,ES,IT,FR,MX English, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt<
