Starting the week, I want to bring a book tip for kids who love pets! Released by Telucazin Publishing, “The Guest” tells a fun story with a surprising ending!
Written by Liniane Haag Brum and illustrated by Eloar Guazzelli Filho, the book tells the story of Basílio, a boy who lives with his mother, Bebete. One day, playing in the garden, Basílio heard a soft voice reciting a little verse: “Moonlight in the street at night, light in the street on a moonlit day.” He looked around and saw nothing. But the voice approached and soon snuggled up between his feet… It was a cat! Her name was Pretinha!
Basílio, shocked to see a talking cat, started a conversation and, upon learning that the kitten was hungry, thirsty, cold, and scared, quickly put her inside his coat and took her home. But there was a very important detail: his mother couldn’t find out! She didn’t like animals inside the house!
The days passed peacefully until, during an online class with Basílio, Pretinha appeared in front of the camera and made his classmates laugh. After that, all the students wanted to bring their pets to class. So, the teacher talked to a mother, who talked to an aunt, who told a father and… That’s how Basílio’s mother found out there was a cat in the house! Can you imagine the chaos that ensued?
To make matters worse, Pretinha ran away scared, causing great sadness in Basílio, who decided to find her at all costs and… ran away from home after his friend! Did he manage to find Pretinha? Did he get lost? Did he manage to get back home? And his mother, what did he do? I can’t tell you any more!
But I will say that the book talks about animals, family, challenges, and has a lot of adventure, emotion, and a special ending! It’s worth checking out!
