Mrs. Katz and Tush (Dell Picture Yearling)

by Patricia Polacco

Mrs. Katz and Tush (Dell Picture Yearling) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Larnel doesn't know his neighbor, Mrs. Katz, very well, until he asks her to adopt an abandoned kitten. Mrs. Katz agrees on one condition: that Larnel help her take care of the kitten she names Tush. When Larnel starts spending more and more time with Mrs. Katz to help with Tush, Mrs. Katz tells him stories about coming to America from Poland and about the good times she spent with her late husband. As Larnel grows to love Mrs. Katz, he also learns about the suffering and triumph black history shares with the Jewish heritage.

Patricia Pollaco has illustrated, as well as authored, countless picture books. She lives in Union City, Michigan.

Review:

"Polacco's bright double-spread watercolor paintings are exuberant...an elemental picture of human family."

--Booklist.

An American Bookseller Pick of the Lists.

Synopsis:

In this special Passover story, Larnel Moore, a young African-American boy, and Mrs. Katz, an elderly Jewish woman, develop an unusual friendship through their mutual concern for an abandoned cat named Tush. Together they explore the common themes of suffering and triumph in each of their cultures.
