When I was in the third grade, I found learning to read with Dick and Jane books just boring. “Sugar Would Not Eat It” would have worked much better for me because it is interesting and funny, and the illustrations are rich and wonderful with lots of detail.

SUGAR WOULD NOT EAT IT

By Emily Jenkins. Illustrated by Giselle Potter

The story is about a “small and fluffy” stray kitten that is adopted by a little boy named Leo. “Leo didn’t know anything about kittens, and he didn’t know anything about cats,” but he likes this kitten, and she seems to like him too. He names her “Sugar” and tries to feed her chocolate cake, “but Sugar would not eat it.” He tries and tries again, to no avail. In the end, Sugar is happy with more appropriate food like milk and chicken.

I really liked this book, but of course, adults must tell children never to feed chocolate to cats or dogs — small amounts of dark chocolate can make pets ill, or if they eat enough of it, even kill them. Maybe in the second edition Sugar could be refusing to eat broccoli or brussels sprouts.

But for children who are just beginning to read, not to mention cat lovers of any age, “Sugar Would Not Eat It” is a charmer.

有人问为什么猫不想吃偏要它吃，其实从这个小孩子的想法上可以看到，他喜欢糖，给猫命名为糖，并且想自己喜欢的别人也喜欢。
