   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  shaunesay | Jun 21, 2017 |   The only downside was the overly cute language the author had Simon use. Early in the book it had me wrinkling my nose and questioning if I wanted to continue. Still, by the end of the book, my answer was that Simon was Simon and if that is how he talked, it was just fine. Obviously, Simon is dead by now. Cat lovers, have tissue at the ready.

When Simon, a mischievous young cat, is smuggled on board HMS Amethyst, his simple life amidst the streets of Hong Kong is transformed into an adventure fit for heroes.But alongside new friend Peggy, the ship's dog, he discovers a mortal enemy in king rat Mao Tse Tung.Under heavy fire from the Chinese Communists, the ship runs aground, stranded for 101 agonising days. Despite severe injuries, Simon and the crew bravely battle their respective foes, enabling Amethyst to make an epic escape. Heralded worldwide as heroes, they sail into Plymouth to a jubilant welcome, but further heart-rending tragedy.Bringing joy and compassion to those on board, Simon is the only cat to have been awarded the PDSA Dickin Medal, the highest honour for animal gallantry in wartime.Based on the true events of Amethyst's 'Yangtze Incident', Simon's quirky yet emotional cat's eye narrative is sure to move and entertain all who read it.

Simon is very literal, and is often confused by words and sayings that Peggy seems to understand, which was a good representation of the relationship differences between cats and dogs and humans, I thought. Seriously though, have your tissues handy at the end. I just want to go home, hug my own black and white cat Fergus, and cry and cry for everyone lost during any conflict ever.
Sometimes it's that simplistic telling of a story from the point of view that doesn't really understand why it's happening that carries a punch.
Includes actual photos of Simon, Peggy and the sailors on the ship. (
