Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'Moving West on the Oregon Trail, nine-year-old Kate Purdy and her family ward off a buffalo stampede and an Indian attack, and deal with a stowaway cat and her kittens, all the while chronicling the trip itself and the developing friendship between Kate and Rosie Murphy. Hooks gives the essence of Kate's sensitive and cunning nature while portraying Rosie as a self-sufficient young girl. The fast-moving plot helps readers along.'--School Library Journal.

I thought "Pioneer Cat" was a very wonderful book. I liked it because I love cats, and I like historical fiction. I liked all the characters because when I read the book, I felt like I was watching a movie. I would recommend this book to mostly girls because it is about a girl trying to hide her cat from everyone on the wagon train except for her new friend. I am eight years old, and this book was fun to read. It was not too hard and not too easy, but some words were challenging.

My 8 year old daughter and I have shared reading this book and enjoyed talking about the chapters after we've read them. It's nice that not only is she reading a story about cats (which she loves), but she is also reading about pioneer life which is a nice bonus. This book keeps her interest every night as we read another chapter. It is easy, yet appropriately challenging for her as she grows in her reading ability. I will look for more of William Hook's books for children.

My 7 yr. old advanced reader found this book not only reasonable to read, but it held her excitement at wanting to know what would happen to each of the characters as the wagon train progressed on its journey and met real dangers. It was not too scary, but filled with the concerns of real life in the pioneer days. The story developed the unfolding of a girlhood friendship in such a way as to show a young reader ways to ease into a relationship. It was a delight to read with a child and educational in many ways.

I really enjoyed this story. I really liked it when her family felt sorry for her and let her have that cat. It's about a little girl on her way to Missouri with her family, Ma, Pa, Kate, Benjy, Duffy, and Doris.
