"Cat, You Better Come Home" follows a cat owner whose cat has run away from home. When the owner lets the cat outside, the cat refuses to come back in. She ends up leaving because her owner never fed her any fancy food, and she decides to make a better life for herself. The owner later finds out that the cat became a celebrity in Europe, and is now extremely rich. The cat is in magazines and commercials, and lives in a mansion with many animal friends. The owner is still asking the cat to come home, as they know that the cat's friends will abandon her as soon as she spends all her money. Eventually that ends up being the case, and the cat ends up coming back to her owners house. The cat looks terrible, but the owner is just happy to have her back. The cat agrees with the owner that she's better off living with her owner, since they know what's best for her. She ends the book with a message to all other cats to go back to their homes. I think the book is very sweet, and you can tell that the author has a passion for cats. The cat in the book reminds me of one of my cats, and I'm sure that any cat owner would agree. I think kids would enjoy this book's wonderful illustrations and heart-warming story, unless they don't like cats for some reason. ( )

Sometimes it is easy to take things for granted. Cat is tired of his same old, boring routine. He goes on a long journey and winds up learning that there is no place like home. ( )

Cat You, Better Come Home is a modern fantasy. The main idea was about a cat that left home for bigger and better things and then returned because she was exhausted of pretending to be what she wasn’t. I loved this book for three main reasons. The first was the story itself. The concept behind the book pushed the reader to think outside the box and what the author was trying to really say. At first I didn’t understand why the cat leaving was a big deal until it was near the end. The best line in the book is “ you can seek fortune, but nevertheless, Remember your name and address, because someday you’ll need to come home”. The cat isn’t really a cat, its any person that leaves home thinking they are to good for home. This happens to many people, and like the cat they come back home. Second, the illustrations were descriptive and helped the story move along. The cat on the first half of the story was beautiful and refined. By the ended was fat and ragged. It went along with the story line perfectly. Lastly, the repetition in this story was prevalent and because of this helps with young readers. It repeats “Cat you better come home”. This helps with early readers because the line is easy to read and is repeated through out the book.

Cat, You Better Come Home is written by Garrison Keillor and illustrated by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher.

No one is sassier than a cat. And no cat is sassier than Puff, an uppity house-cat who decides she’d rather be living the high life. After abandoning her home because of the boring food he feeds her, Puff becomes a “TV cat-food queen” and gets all the delicious chow and fame she could ever want. Despite her owner’s attempts to warn her and show her some common sense, Puff takes off on an ill-fated cruise with an owl—and learns a watery lesson about who her real friends are. Thank goodness a cat can always go back home to the people who love her!

The story is written in Keillor’s iconic rhythmic verse, based on his other popular book, Cat Songs. The amusing antics of Puff will delight readers and have them cheer her on while she’s living the good life. But Keillor also shows us the heart-warming feeling when two friends reunite after admitting they were both wrong. Cat, You Better Come Home is an instant classic and a great fun for parents to read out loud and have kids join in on the repetition. ( )

A funny and sardonic children's book in rhyme (sort of) by Garrison Keillor, about a family cat who becomes dissatisfied with its lot in life at home and leaves to seek his fortune. Puff becomes the toast of the continent, beloved and adored by his fawning public, living to excess, until the woeful day when his yacht sinks, he is believed drowned, and he makes his way back home, a sadder, wiser, and 93-pound cat. A nice little homily at the end, and great paintings by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. ( )
