This novel is written in poetry for children. This poetry stories contain four main characters, the owl, pussycat, pig, and turkey. This love story between the owl and the cat begins with the two traveling by boat, in which the owl serenades the cat. They finally land in a land full of Bong Trees. There, the owl and the cat find a pig who has a ring they buy off of him. Finally, the two are married by a turkey. This fun, heart warming novel of poetry is perfect for young students.
I thought this poetry book could be used for very young students since it is a classic. This happy poetry book could be used as a nap time story as students' first introduction to poetry.
