The Cat that went to Heaven

I have just finished reading The Cat that Went to Heaven. The story begins in India where an old housekeeper brings home a cat to her master, a poor artist. Then a priest comes to ask the artist to paint a picture of the Buddha. He then paints the animals who recived the blessings of the Buddha, including the horse, the swan, and the tiger. When he saw that the cat was upset, he then added a cat. Then the cat died out of joy. The wanted to burn the painting because the cat was in there. But later that night, where the cat was in the picture, she was now next to the Buddha in the painting.
If you are a cat lover like I am, you'll like this book. It has won a Newbery Award and I'm glad it did because it is a very good book. Read it if you don't believe me!
