Well this book brought mixed opinions from my daughter and I. I thought this was a cute little folktale. I don't know that there is any point to it other then listening to what you are told to do and doing it. The artwork in the book was fun....I really liked the illustrations.
My 5 year old did not feel the same about this book. When I gave her a group of books to pick from, this one came up last every time and when I asked her if she liked it she said not very much. Though she really doesn't seem to know why she doesn't care for it.
However, she also liked the pictures. I don't think it is the writer in this case, I think that the story just didn't appeal to her young mind. So maybe we will try it again when she is older.

I liked the loyalty the two friends show to each other. While reading the book, I was not sure how the story was going to go. I liked that the story had a happy ending. The rooster learned his lesson to listen to his friend.

Retold by Maldovych, Ivan. The Cat and the Rooster: A Ukrainian Folktale (1993). Pictures by Kost鈥� Lavro. Good friends, Cat and Rooster, live together in a house. Whenever Cat goes out for the day, he would tell Rooster to stay indoors and not come out regardless of what happens outdoors. One day after Cat leaves, Rooster was tricked by the trickster, Fox, who planted some wheat to draw Rooster out of the house. Rooster did not follow Cat鈥檚 direction and stepped out of the house where he was caught by Fox. Cat heard Rooster鈥檚 call for help. The next day, Cat went to Fox鈥� house and tried to rescue Rooster. In the same manner that Rooster did not follow Cat鈥檚 directions to stay indoors, so did Fox鈥檚 three daughters and a son. All four of the Fox siblings were tricked by Cat to come outside of the house and got caught by Cat. The story ends in a happy ending for Rooster and Cat. They lived happily ever after.
Award winner Lavro illustrated this folktale with vibrant colors that introduce traditional Ukrainian clothing on the characters which will surely capture children鈥檚 attention. Illustrations are largely done full-sized images that depict the animal characters to be large-sized as the main focus of the story. The background settings are illustrated to be in the country/farm environment. The words are larger printed and readable that connect to the illustrations, while also engaging the reader with the rhyming words from the characters鈥� dialogue. Target audience: ages 5-7.

This book is Ukrainian folktale about a cat and his friends. I thought the story was a bit confusing but the illustrations were huge and lovely. I wouldn't read this book to young children because I don't think they would comprehend it.

This is really quite a fun book. Cat really looks out for rooster, knowing that he is vulnerable. I think that rooster didn't really understand why though, but he learnt the hard way and listened to cat after that.
