Sweet Story but needs editing
By Natasha Yim
A Lesson my Cat Taught Me is a chapter book for early readers by Saul Weber. This is the author's brief summary of the book: Jennifer and her mother find a friendly, abandoned cat. They soon discover it only has one eye. Jennifer calls the cat Uno, and learns that despite its disability, Uno is capable of doing more things than her other cat, Mr. Tickles. When Hillary, who is in a wheelchair, joins her class, Jennifer sees her as a friend rather than a girl with a disability because of what Uno has taught her.
The black and white sketches by Nancy Lepri lends the book a sweet, simple feel that harkens back to books we grew up with 30 years ago. The message the author is trying to convey--that kids with disabilities are no different than other kids, and Jennifer learns this lesson through observing her "disabled" cat--has great appeal, and it is a lesson of tolerance and friendship we hope that kids of all ages will take to heart.
This is a self-published book, and while there may be many talented self-published authors in the book world, the lack of editorial oversight is often a problem. In A Lesson My Cat Taught Me, punctuation errors, typos, missing words only serve to pull the reader out of the story and provide distractions I'm sure Mr. Weber did not intend.
While the story is a sweet one and the characters are likeable, the pacing is somewhat slow because of lengthy passages of dialogue where much of the exchange is between Jennifer and her mother about feeding the cat or changing its litter. Uno's disability is that it only has one eye, hence the name. I had expected that Uno would somehow overcome the challenge of seeing with one eye, and that the "lesson" she teaches Jennifer is about how she adapted to the disability of her impaired vision. However, the tricks Uno performs with Jennifer's patient coaxing has to do with selecting which hand Jennifer is hiding the treats or begging for a treat. For me, this diluted the "lesson" of Uno dealing with its handicap.
The relationship between Jennifer and Hilary, the new girl in school with a wheelchair, has the potential for encouraging kindness, tolerance, and acceptance of others different from ourselves. It's a little too quickly glossed over, and I would have liked to see the author spend more time on developing this friendship and on how Hilary either triumphs over her disability or not let it impede her, and less time on Uno's tricks and eating habits.
A Lesson My Cat Taught Me could have benefitted from some tight editing, but overall, the book's message is well-needed, and it truly is a sweet story.

Something for everyone
By Bluebell9
Although this book will appeal especially to cat-lovers like myself, its appeal extends well beyond that. Brilliantly illustrated and a perfect length, it describes how a one-eyed cat helps a yong girl to relate to a disabled schoolmate, with humour, and without being preachy.
I hope the author will forgive me if I point out that I have a few niggles about the punctuation - the only one that stands out is 'it's' on the back cover - the first place readers will look. I only point this out because a) I am an old fusspot and b) a reprint can soon get rid of these little mistakes (I counted six by being really picky).
However, I shall enjoy dipping into this book, and giving coopies as presents to (mostly cat-loving) friends.

A Lesson My Cat Taught Me--Lessons about tolerance and unconditional love
By Patricia A. Guthrie
Jennifer adopts a second cat to be a companion to her pet Mr. Tickles. When she discovers the cat is blind in one eye, she calls him Uno.
Uno soon shows Jennifer that he is more capable than Mr. Tickles in many areas. This teaches Jennifer that having a disability doesn't always have to be a handicap.
Jennifer's school has a new student. Hillary has just moved to town and is in a wheelchair. When Jennifer tries to make friends, Hillary assumes that Jennifer is only feeling sorry for her and that she, like the other kids, thinks something is wrong with her.
Jennifer teaches Hillary that she's worthy of friendship, just like Uno taught Jennifer that being disabled doesn't mean being handicapped.
This was a charming children's story with an important moral that we all need to learn. The book was illustrated by Nancy Lepri and brought personality to the characters
