Negative cat / Sophie Blackall.

Blackall, Sophie, (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

Most cats appreciate a toy mouse--and might even purr once in a while. Not Max, who prefers to stare at the wall. One by one, his new family gives up on him, except for the boy, who loves his cat so much, he'll do anything to keep him. Even the thing he dreads most. Which, as it turns out, makes everything quite positive! -- Provided by publisher.

Summary

Negative Cat


Two-time Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall spins a winning tale about Max, a feline whose behavior doesn't win any raves, except from the boy who believes in him and finds a way to turn a negative into a positive. When a boy is FINALLY allowed to get a cat, he has no doubts about which one to bring home from the shelter. But Max the cat isn't quite what the family expected. He shuns the toy mouse, couldn't care less about the hand-knitted sweater, and spends most of his time facing the wall. One by one, the family gives up on Max, but the boy loves his negative cat so much, he'll do anything to keep him. Even the thing he dreads most- practicing his reading. Which, as it turns out, makes everything positive!
