Six-Dinner Sid
by Inga Moore
One sly cat plays the pet of six different owners so that he can get six dinners every night. Sid the cat lives at number one Aristotle Street. He also lives at number two, number three, number four, number five, and number six. Since the neighbors on Aristotle street don’t talk to each other, no one realizes that Sid gets six dinners each night. But when Sid gets a cold, being six people’s pet might be more than he bargained for. Six-Dinner Sid is a Smarties Prize Winner and a NCTE Notable Children’s Books in the Language Arts Selection.
