Chronicle Concering Books The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly

A cat. A seagull. An impossible task.
A worldwide bestseller and the subject of a feature film, THE STORY OF A SEAGULL... is finally out in paperback!

Her wings burdened by an oil slick, a seagull struggles to the nearest port to lay her final egg. Exhausted, she lands on a balcony where Zorba the cat is sunning himself. She extracts three extraordinary promises from him: that he will watch over the egg, that he will not EAT the egg, and that, when it's time, he will teach the baby gull to fly. The first two promises are hard enough, but the third one is surely impossible. Isn't it?

Evaluation Containing Books The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly

3.5 STARS I really appreciate some things about this story. I loved the camaraderie and the distinct characters of the port cats. I thought it was great how they are so honorable, especially Zorba, who goes above and beyond to honor the dying wishes of a gull help raise her baby seagull until the baby is able to fly. The conversations between the cats are so much fun, especially when the Col. and SevenSeas are in the mix. Great fun and well realized characters, especially for such a short book.

21/4/2017We've learnt to appreciate and respect and love someone who's different from us. It is very easy to accept and love those who are like us, but to love someone different is very hard, and you helped us to do that.I have no words to describe this little book. From the illustrations to the hidden messages, this is a book that I think everyone should read.

Y si todo esto es un sueño, qué importa. Me gusta y quiero seguir soñándolo.More and less: "If this is all a dream, I do not care. I love it and I want to keep on dreaming."Read in Spanish, it deals with the meeting of two worlds which differs form each other that leads to mutual respect, support and personal enrichment. Love and respect for nature is another central theme.

One of the best children's books I've ever read. A must-read. A beautiful and touching story.

This was a really cute little book about a baby seagull who is entrusted to a fat black cat by a dying mother seagull (oil spill)... The mama seagull makes the cat promise to (1) watch over the egg she has just hatched, (2) not eat the egg, and (3) teach the baby gull to fly when it's time.It was super adorable how to fat cat (Zorba) consulted with his cat friends to figure out how to take care of the egg and baby gull... how they figured out that the seagull was a little girl bird and named

I really liked this symbolic story. It has an many wonderful meanings. The cat Zorba -my favorite character- kept his promise of teaching the seagull how to fly. When the egg hatched it was a girl and they named her Lucky, such a cute name. Zorba had many friends that helped him fulfill his promise, by taking in the seagull and acting like the seagull's family. The really neat thing about this story is that it shows how even thought there two different animals they still became a family. Zorba

I found this to be a weird combination of contemporary issues (seagull encounters an oil slick, definite commentary on bad behavior from humanity, contemporary port city) and a nostalgic sort of animal story (think My Father's Dragon, A Cricket in Times' Square) -- not so much a dated feeling to the story as writing for a very specific age, where the animal tale is king. It's a good story, about 125 pages with periodic illustrations, and an entertaining cast of eccentric cats who are doing their
