It’s about world war one, and what war does to animals and people. I read Wishing for Tomorrow by Hilary McKay, which is a pretty good sequel to Frances Hodgson Burnett’s A Little Princess.Īlthough Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey is narrated by Cher Ami, a pigeon, in chapters alternating with Major Whittlesey, a human, it is not a children’s book. I read Noel Streatfeild’s The Bell Family (because I didn’t remember reading it when I checked out every book by Streatfeild in the public library of the town where I grew up). I read Catherine Fisher’s The Snow-Walker Trilogy (also recommended by Ann at Cafe Society). I’ve been reading children’s books and books narrated by animals after Ann convinced me to read Katherine Applegate’s fabulous The One and Only Ivan and Rohan convinced me to read Kathleen Rooney’s novel Cher Ami and Major Whittlesey.
