Comet's Nine Lives by Jan Brett

4.0

You can always count on a Jan Brett book to entertain and engage the reader. This is a beginner book for kids so the way Comet loses his nine lives is very kid friendly and not traumatic at all. Poor Comet, he loses his life falling into a vat of ice cream. That's a delicate life to lose it so easily, or simply walking through a storm or swimming in the sea. I missed the first life and went back, but each time the cat loses a life, you see the angel cat going off into the sky.

Jan uses her famous window panes to show another scene where a lighthouse owner and his cat is looking for another cat and the reader wants Comet to find the messages before he runs out of lives. The artwork is amazing and she was on Nantucket Island to draw this story and the scenery is beautiful. I love it. Now, I want to visit the island again. I have been interested in it, but it looks amazing. I hear it's a fairly expensive place, so maybe this book is enough.

I now have my own place, yes, I am no longer in the basement. I'm close to the niece and nephew, but I'm not reading to them like I was. The nephew would be interested in the cat and our family enjoys a Jan Brett story. I will recommend it to Nephew and see what he thinks.
