Summary: Melanie Watts book Chester, had to be named Chester, because truly he took over the book. It may have started out bein
g about a mouse and his house, but the Cat-in true a cat attitude-has to take
over. So the book literally has red cross outs and reframe from the perspective of chester. And from there the cat does his typical ignoring forte by continuing on with the story of chester...
Reading Log: In the spirit of cats and the humor of Ms. Watts, Chester is really funny and really creative. One of my favorites in the picture book category. There is a whole series too! Did I mention he looks exactly like my cat Circle? They are both adorably cheeky. And it's all about them!
