JACK
Room 204–Miss Stretchberry
February 25
Today the fat black cat
up in the tree by the bus stop
dropped a nut on my head
thunk
and when I yelled at it
that fat black cat said
Murr-mee-urrr
in a
nasty
spiteful
way.
I hate that cat.
This is the story of
Jack
words

silence
teacher
and cat.

      In a companion book to LOVE THAT CAT, student Jack begins the school year with the very same Miss Stretchberry who introduced him to poetry the previous year. Initially, Jack is both poem-less and pet-less, but Miss Stretchberry works her magic as the year unfolds. Narrator Scott Wolf jumps right into Jack's shoes. Wolf's youthful voice speeds and slows, adding poignancy to the free-verse monologue. He gives voice to Jack's many moods--elation over discovering onomatopoeia and tenderness as his compassion for his deaf mother deepens, for example. Recitations of the poems included in the story complete the recording. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
