Cat Sitter Black Bombay Curse — Teresa Ives Lilly

All elementary age kids will love the Cat Sitter Series of books. When Cat takes the job as pet sitter for a black bombay cat during the month of October, one of the boys at school taunts her with tales that black bombay cats are cursed. When Cat almost loses her best friend, breaks a mirror and gets hurt, she begins to wonder if the curse is real and if she will be able to come up with a costume in time for the Halloween costume contest at school. In this second book of the Cat Sitter series, Cat learns to write a poem and readers will learn the steps to write a Diamante poem along with her.
