Que vivan los ensayos! Todas las clases de escritura deberían ser así de animadas.
Cuando los primos Mellie y Dennis deciden adoptar un gato, ellos consideran cuidadosamente qué raza de gato sería la óptima para sus familias. Por ejemplo, Mellie quiere un gato acróbata, pero Dennis prefiere un gato flojo, igual que su perro, Clark Kent. Mellie quiere un gato que se acurruque en sus piernas, pero Dennis quiere uno que se siente junto a él. Ambos consideran las diferentes personalidades de las razas de gatos, sus familias y preferencias personales.
Mellie escribe un ensayo para su profesor, el Sr. Eagle. Pero su ensayó convencerá a sus padres para que le regalen un lindo gatito?
Esta historia toma un tema popular -niños que adoptan una mascota- y le añade gatos de variadas razas y formas: todas las clases de escritura deberían ser así de divertidas. Al final, son los perros y los primos quienes mantienen a los lectores enganchados y volteando las páginas. Qué tipo de gato escogerá Mellie? Dennis escogerá la misma raza?
Esta historia toca varios temas:
- Una historia familiar sobre dos primos, Mellie y DennisInformación sobre razas de gatoResponsabilidad como dueño de un gatoTexto de mentor para enseñar escrituraModela un ensayo de opinión para estudiantes de primariaModela el proceso de escritura, especialmente la importancia de escribir borradores o planear antes de escribirCompleta el proceso al enseñar el ensayo finalizado de Mellie

Hurrah for Essays! All writing lessons should be this much fun.
SLJ Review: ". . .fills a niche for teachers. . ."
When cousins Mellie and Dennis decide to get a cat, they consider carefully what breed would be best for each family. For example, Mellie wants a cat that pounces, but Dennis wants a lazy cat, like his lazy dog, Clark Kent. Mellie wants a lap cat, but Dennis just wants a warm body BESIDE him. They consider different cat personalities, family situations, and personal preferences.
Mellie writes an opinion essay for her teacher, Mr. Eagle. But will her essay convince her parents to get the cat of her dreams?
This story takes a popular subject-kids getting a pet-and adds cats of all sizes and shapes: all writing lessons should be this much fun. In the end, it's the cousins and the cats that keep a reader turning the page. What kind of cat will Mellie choose? Will Dennis want the same kind of cat?
