Items related to Me and My Cat
Late one night, an old lady in a pointed hat comes in through the bedroom window. She brandishes her broom, whispers some witchy words and leaves. Nicolas is surprised, but not as surprised as he is when he wakes up to find himself in the body of his cat!

About the Author:
Satoshi Kitamura is the creator of many popular books for children, including Comic Adventures of Boots and Sheep in Wolves' Clothing. He lives in London, England.
From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Prior to the title page, an old lady with a broom and a pointy black hat is pictured crawling through a boy's window at night. The caption explains that she "brandished her broom at me and fired out some words. Then she left without saying goodbye-." The next day, Nicholas discovers that he has switched bodies with his cat Leonardo. What results is a humorous set of learning experiences about the life of a cat and, for poor Leonardo, the life of a boy. By the time the old woman returns the next night-"Sorry, love. I got the wrong address"-both victims, as well as the protagonist's frazzled mother, are anxious to return to normal. The twist on the last page is wickedly delightful, as are the expressive pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations. Facial expressions speak volumes, and the sense of kinetic movement and moments caught in a series of "snapshots" (on two consecutive spreads) will pull in the most diffident listeners. The high humor is infectious and the entire clever premise is well executed. Use this title with David Small's Imogene's Antlers (Crown, 1988) or William Joyce's George Shrinks (HarperCollins, 1985) for wonderful stories about strange transformations.
