      The Last Little Cat

      • 71 pages
      • 3 hours of reading

      The winner of the 1954 Newbery Award for The Wheel on the School, Meindert DeJong wrote this story originally published nearly four decades ago. The Last Little Cat is now back in print to delight both children and adults. The last little cat was born in a kennel, surrounded by dogs and dog cages and dog noises. The little cat was always half cold and half hungry - until the day it fell into the cage of the old, blind dog. Then, for a while, the last little cat was warm, and the last little cat was well fed. But how could such a small cat know that barn doors are closed at night and that there are people in the world who do not want to help a helpless kitten? This story of how the last little cat found a home, and not only a home, but the perfect home, again confirms DeJong's place among the finest writers of this or any day.

      Es ist schrecklich, allein zu sein — einsam, menschenscheu, hungernd, frierend und völlig verängstigt hat der kleine Hund Candy ein schlimmes Jahr voller Aufregungen und trauriger Erlebnisse zu überstehen. Endlich findet Candy ein Zuhause und einen freundlichen Menschen, der sein Vertrauen gewinnt. Doch noch einmal verliert er alles, Heim und Herrn, bei der dramatischen Verfolgung von Bankräubern. Soviel sei verraten: die Geschichte — eine der schönsten Tiererzählungen der letzten Jahre — geht gut aus. Eines Tages heißt es: „Komm heim, Candy!" (Candy - sprich: kändi)

      Komm heim, Candy.
