Book Description
A paperback reissue of the award-winning classic.
Product Description
It's night and the dark is filled with strange sounds as Shane makes his way home. On a fence he finds a stray cat that at first growls and spits at him. But Shane talks and strokes the kitten to calmness, and decides to take the 'Spitfire, Kitten Number One,' home with him. No gang of boys, or avenue of dense traffic, or fierce dog can stop Shane carrying his new found friend to the place he calls home. Greg Rogers' sensitive use of charcoal and pastel create Shane and his cat in splendid city-at-night time scenes. (20021018)

Format:Paperback
The illustrations in this book are fantastic, every picture tells a story. It is a book about serious issues and has a twist at the end. I have used this book in guided reading with older children (Y4/5) who do not read well. There is lots to discuss and to stimulate writing. A must for every classroom. There is a good Read and Respond book that goes with this book too!

I bought Way Home to use in the classroom, and it is a fantastic, well thought out picture book. The discussions and questions that arise from reading a book like this with a class are fascinating. We looked at symbolism in the pictures (it uses reoccurring symbols) and interpreting the messages that were hidden there. This book would work so well in an integrated unit that I can't praise it enough. It is a fabulous book and well worth a primary teacher's time. I would recommend it for (NZ) Yr 5-8 or 9-13 yr olds. A great sophisticated picture book.

I bought this book to teach a literacy unit at school (ages 8-9) The work the children produced based on the book was really good. The pictures are especially effective.
