The -Diary of a Killer Cat -by Anne Fine. Illustrated by Steve Cox. New York: Farrar, Straus and -Giroux, 1994.

ANNOTATION: -This humorous chapter book is told from the point of view of a cat -named Tuffy. His human family gets upset after he brings a dead bird -and a dead mouse in the house, but they really -go “mental” when he next brings in the neighbor’s -beloved rabbit Thumper…dead, of course.

CLASSROOM -CONNECTIONS

Explore -Points of View: - -

Tuffy -is the narrator of this book; we see the events that occur in the -story from his point of view. What makes it so funny is that Tuffy is -a cat, so he looks at things in a different way than people do. He -thinks his people are being ridiculous for being so upset with him -for killing a bird when that is normal behavior for a cat. Students -can do a creative writing exercise that will help them understand -what first-person narration is. Ask children to write a story—it -can be in diary form as in The -Diary of a Killer Cat—from -the point of view of an animal. The animal can be their own pet, an -insect, a zoo animal, farm animal, or wild animal. The following site -provides a lesson for further exploration of point of view: -http://teachers.net/lessons/posts/414.html. -It helps children learn to distinguish between first and third person -points of view. The stories presented are The -Three Little Pigs -(traditionally told), The -True Story of the Three Little Pigs -by Jon Scieszka, and The -Giver -by Lois Lowry. The -Giver -is probably too advanced for our age group, but other titles can be -substituted: e.g. Bunnicula: -A Rabbit Tale of Mystery -by Deborah Howe and James Howe (or The -Vampire Bunny, -the easy reader version of -Bunnicula), -Sheep -by -Valerie Hobbs, and A -Room with a Zoo -by Jules Feiffer.

Write -a Book Review:

Have -the students write a short book review of The -Diary of a Killer Cat. -They could share the following: an explanation of what the story is -about; whether they liked it or not and why; a character description -of Tuffy. They could rate the book with stars, a five star review -being the best. That is what children did for the Web site of the Old -Hutton C of E Primary School, located in the town of Kendal, Cumbria, -in the U.K. Click the following link to see student reviews of Fine’s -books, including a few of The -Diary of a Killer Cat: -http://www.oldhutton.cumbria.sch.uk/learning/literacy/bookreviews/f.html.

“Is -That How Cats Really Are?”

This -lesson about cats comes from the ASPCA Web site: -http://www.aspca.org/site/DocServer/Is_That_How_Cats_Really_Are.pdf?docID=4250. -It asks children to brainstorm and research characteristics of real -cats. They then can compare these characteristics to portrayals of -fictional cats. A handout is provided to help them remember famous -fictional cats, like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh (yes, both domestic -and wild cats can be represented). A series of discussion questions -round out the lesson; they try to get children to think of “basic -cat care needs.” Tuffy can be brought into the discussion. In -what ways does Tuffy exhibit characteristics of real cats? How is he -not like a real cat? Does Tuffy show affection toward Ellie? How do -real cats show affection ?

Draw -a Cartoon Animal

One -of the funny things about this book is Steve Cox’s cartoon -illustrations. Discuss how his illustrations of Tuffy correspond with -Tuffy’s voice in telling the tale. What kind of expression does -Tuffy’s face show? Have children create their own cartoon -animal character. Show children “Chunky Monkey’s Cartoon -Lessons” on Pauline Camanor’s Chunky Money Web site: -http://www.chunkymonkey.com/howto/drawinglessons.htm. -She gives step-by-step directions for drawing monkeys, cats, fish, -koalas, poodles, plus more!
