Kaspar Prince Of Cats Teaching Resources – PowerPoint Presentation


Kaspar Prince Of Cats Kaspar the cat first came to the Savoy Hotel in a basket and Johnny Trott was the bellboy who carried all of Countess Kandinsky’s things to her room. But Johnny didn’t expect to end up with Kaspar on his hands forever. Pretty soon, events are set in motion that will take Johnny - and Kaspar - all around the world, surviving theft, shipwreck and rooftop rescues along the way. Because everything changes with a cat like Kaspar around. After all, he’s Prince Kaspar Kandinsky, Prince of Cats, as far as anyone knows, the only cat to survive the sinking of the Titanic...

This cat did not yowl like other cats, it was more like a wailing lament, almost human in its tremulous tunefulness.
