Review: Simon Ships Out A heroic cat at sea. Based on a true story

Simon Ships Out A heroic cat at sea. Based on a true story Simon Ships Out A heroic cat at sea. Based on a true story by Jacky Donovan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A wonderful true story about Simon, a heroic little cat who was found by a sailor and smuggled aboard a ship, The Amethyst, that was seeing active duty. While under heavy fire from the communist Chinese, the ship ran aground and was stranded for 101 days.

The story is told from the perspective of the cat and you really feel that you are right there on the ship right along with him.

This is a good and descriptive story of a battleship at war and a wonderful story for cat lovers. Highly recommended.
