Puss In Boots is a traditional literature book originally written in French by Charles Perrault but was translated and illustrated by Marcia Brown. This book has not won any awards and is geared towards children in about 2nd-4th grade. This book is about a miller who died and left his three sons with a mill, a donkey, and a cat. The youngest got the "short end" of the stick and ended up getting the cat. The cat told him not to worry, and to grab him a sack and a pair of boots. The cat then decided he would help his master by catching things and bringing them to the king. The cat did this for several months, and the king eventually started rewarding him for his generosity, which the cat then gave to his master. The sly cat learned that the king's daughter would be visiting, and planned(in an extremely creative way) for his master and the princess to meet. After a lot of planning from the cat, his master, and the princess eventually got married.
I would use this book in my classroom because I think it's a cute children's book for the children to hear and read. Some of the words may be complicated for the younger children so I would say an appropriate grade level for the book would be 4th grade. This book could easily be a read aloud for younger children, but for older children,
it would be a good book to have them read and do a mini "book report" on.
