The Diary of a Killer Cat

The librarian at a local elementary school recommended The Diary of a Killer Cat by Anne Fine to me as a book I'd enjoy--it's a super quick read (like, it took me 5 minutes).  It's about a cat named Tuffy who gets in trouble from his owners (little girl named Ellie and her parents) for killing a bird.  Ellie tries to convince Tuffy to change his ways, but when a dead rabbit is dragged in, Tuffy is blamed for its death.  The book is told from Tuffy's point of view.

This is a really cute, fun book.  It's such a fun story for younger kids (probably age 7 or so) who want to read a simple chapter book.  It was entertaining and engaging with a clever perspective.  It wasn't long enough for be to be involved enough to rate it 3 stars, but there's nothing I really didn't like about it.  Good book.

Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
