From School Library Journal K-Gr 2—In this charming sequel, a new puppy threatens the titular feline's idyllic existence in an enjoyable spin on the "adjusting to new baby" theme. As in Won Ton: A Cat Tale Told in Haiku (Holt, 2010), Wardlaw relates his tale through a series of senryu, short unrhymed lines of haiku containing a maximum of 17 syllables. This ancient form of Japanese poetry seeks to capture the essence of a moment, and Wardlaw uses it to humorous effect to capture Won Ton's horrified reaction to the new puppy, Chopstick. Won Ton defends his territory against the newcomer and acts out. There's an altercation at the dinner bowl: "Who. Ate. My. Dinner./Your eyes say "no-no," but your/breath brags of tuna." Yelchin's cartoony illustrations, using graphite and gouache on watercolor paper, convey Chopstick's wide-eyed innocence and Won Ton's prickly vulnerability. Though this is a stand-alone sequel, there are echoes of the first book, where readers learned that Won Ton's true name is Haiku; here, readers learn that Chopstick has a true name as well (hint: a famed haiku poet). Abundant wordplay and comic elements, such as Won Ton's repeated cry: "Puthimoutputhim/outputhimoutputhim—wait!/I said him, not me!" make this an enjoyable read-aloud. In the end, Won Ton discovers that he and the puppy have much in common: both enjoy rummaging through the garbage and cuddling with their boy. Peace is restored, and all ends happily. A wide audience of readers will be cheering Won Ton's return as well.—Marilyn Taniguchi, Beverly Hills Public Library, CA

They are so sparely written and yet they touch your soul with the playfulness, message of friendship (both human and animal), the sadness of living in a shelter, the fear of leaving the shelter because it is a known entity, and the joy coming to terms with an interloper and becoming friends.Especially loved the playful and ever-so-true words from Won Ton, "Letmeoutletmeoutletmeoutletmeout. Wait–let me back in!" Haven't we all gone through that with our cats?Eugene Yelchin's (Eugene is a Newbery Honoree-some people get ALL the talent) illustrations have movement, personality, and emotion. Lots of negative space highlights the movements of the animals. I loved one of the last pages in Won Ton and Chopstick where the little boy is cuddling both of his beloved animals. This illustration exudes joy and comfort and would be a comfort to the child in your life.These are a must read/peruse/enjoy for animal lovers everywhere. Great job!

Purr-fect for Kids By Amy Shojai, CABC A couple of years ago, I was sent a review copy of WON TON: A Cat Tale Told in Haiku when the book first launched in 2011. I don’t have kids (other than furry ones with four paws), but was so impressed I wrote a glowing 5-star review. This book is a moving, powerful story of one cat’s adoption, told through the “voice” of a shelter cat. The gorgeous illustrations by Eugene Yelchin perfectly capture the cat’s perspective of shelter life, car ride to new home, and experiences adjusting to his adoptive family: Nice place they got here. Bed. Bowl. Blankie. Just like home! Or so I’ve been told.Lee Wardlaw writes the text in senryu, a form of Japanese poetry similar to Haiku, which gives the cat’s tale a playful, poignant or humorous tone. The cat pretends not to care about being adopted, yet of course yearns for a forever home. "Please, Boy, pick me." And once chosen and named Won Ton, the cautious cat must learn to trust enough to share his real name, and heart.Won Ton and Chopstick is the SEQUEL I have been waiting for this–it’s a subject very close to my heart, and addresses introducing new pets to resident ones–in this case a new puppy to the cat. This new delightful book is perfect for parents and kids. WON TON and CHOPSTICK, A Cat and Dog Tale Told in Haiku offers the cat’s perspective when faced with a (hiss!) interloper.Lee asked her publisher to send me an advanced reader’s edition and I will treasure this–it is everything I hoped and more. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! Won Ton has a happy life with his boy, until. . . Ears perk. Fur prickles. Belly low, I creep . . . peek . . . FREEZE! My eyes full of Doom.Both of these lovely books belong in every cat lover’s library, especially when you have children. The first book WON TON humorously educates children to basic cat behaviors and emotions, teaches empathy, and celebrates the gift of saving a life, while offering a snapshot of a shelter cat’s journey from a cage to finally embracing his new life and family with trust and love.The second book WON TON and CHOPSTICK continues the “tail” with glee, humor and gentle insight of how resident pets feel about new pets puthimoutputhimoutputhimout but how with care all can be respected and learn to accept each other…."I shall call you…Friend."I would love to send these books home with every new pet adoption. I cannot recommend these books highly enough.--Amy Shojai, CABC, pet expert and author 30 pet care/behavior books
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Purr-fect! By Sherry Shahan Part of the brilliance of this book is in the deceptively simple story of an unlikely friendship. The poetry is never predictable, but always surprises with its fun language and playful phrase turns. Eugene Yelchin's illustrations are equally impressive. Seemingly simple, but I know better. Each character has a distinct and mischievous persona. This isn't just for dog and cat lovers (though they will gobble it up!) or poetry fans or whomever. This book is for everyone!
