			        		K-Gr 2-Gracie, a cat whose home is in a lighthouse, relaxes alongside her little kitten while in the background Grace, the lighthouse keeper&apos;s daughter, spots a ship in trouble on the rocks. The two stories about bravery during a raging storm in 1838 unfold simultaneously. Gracie&apos;s story is described in the text, while the human drama is portrayed primarily in the artwork. Attractive, painterly renditions of the treacherous sea as well as the emotional features on the faces of the animals will draw children into the suspenseful tale. Sentences are short and function ostensibly to move the action along. It is the artwork that adds additional meaning to the event. Endpapers introduce the historical setting and conclude with an afterword. Cat lovers will remember this event after the first reading and will be able to retell the story just by following the pictures.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VA (c) Copyright 2010.

			        		The 1838 real-life rescue of shipwrecked passengers by a lighthouse keeper and his daughter is the backdrop for Brown&#xFFFD;s story of a mother cat&#xFFFD;s courageous rescue of her kitten. Though storming outside, Gracie and her kitten are snug in their lighthouse home. But hearing noises, the curious kitten goes to investigate and is inadvertently swept outdoors. Distraught Gracie is determined to find him, searching everywhere, even braving the elements; and just when things seem hopeless comes happy discovery and reunion. The descriptive narrative incorporates dramatic and suspenseful elements. Meanwhile, realistic illustrations, with some abstract touches, depict the turbulent seascapes and the warm, detailed lighthouse interior. The cats are always the focus, while the human rescue is conveyed in visuals only&#xFFFD;the shipwreck distantly visible through the lighthouse window, people climbing stone steps to shelter, etc. A brief introduction and closing note provide some background on Grace Darling, the lighthouse-keeper&#xFFFD;s daughter, and the shipwreck off of England&#xFFFD;s Farne Islands. Readers will find both heroic rescues inspiring. Grades K-3. --Shelle Rosenfeld

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A nice book about a Mother cat & her kitten in a lighthouse.
  

*by S***N on May 9, 2017*

I just read this book "Gracie, The Lighthouse Cat". It's an amazing book. I would recommend reading it to a little boy or little girl who loves cats or all of the above. I love the artwork in this book. This book is amazing, even to people who love lighthouses. I love lighthouses myself. They remind me of the lighthouses on the coast of Maine. Maine has beautiful lighthouses. The mama cat and kitten are cute. The kitten does get into a little bit of trouble after investigating what's going on outside. It falls into the ocean which I felt put the mama cat into a panic, but luckily the kitten survives and reunites with it's mother and goes back inside to keep warm from the storm. This book touched me. I love my cat very much. This book would be a perfect gift to give to a little boy or little girl for their birthday or Christmas. I recommend it. I guarantee your kids will love the book.

    GRACIE THE LIGHTHOUSE CAT
  

*by M***O on June 2, 2014*

This book is a beautiful story about a mother cat and her baby.  It is a true story, so it definitely touches your heart.  It shows you how strong a bond is between a mother cat and her baby.  She saved her child in the middle of a horrible storm.This story should be read to every child, to let them see that animals are living beings with feelings and emotions, just like us and show children that animals are to be protected and cherished.  Too often we hear about children abusing and killing animals and children should be taught to have compassion towards animals.  That is the start of being a true human being.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
