Synopsis

Children six to ten, parents, and teachers will join Sambok the cat and his friends on an adventure as they journey four nights to a place of shelter. The idea that people (and cats) have to take risks and not give up if they want to improve their lives is the central message of the story. Children will learn about the importance of friendships, cooperation, problem-solving, effective leadership, and the value of trying hard. The story contains vibrant full-color illustrations and includes 31 questions for discussion. Additionally, a list of vocabulary words and their definitions is provided.
