What Parents Need to Know
About The Cat Who Liked Potato Soup
Parents need to know that nothing objectionable is presented in this unusual story, unless you don't appreciate the double negatives and other examples of countrified language.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the relationship between the old man and his cat. Do you think they like each other? What makes you think so? Why did the old man think the cat was "nobody's prize"? Do you think the old man and the cat need each other? Why? Families might enjoy talking about the language used in this story. How do the double negatives or the use of "them birds" rather than "those birds" add to the country tone? The illustrations are also something to discuss. Notice the expressions on the characters' faces. What do they show? How do they change? How about the colors in the sky? How do they reflect the mood of the story?
