What do cats really think about when they purr while sitting on the lap of their mistress? What do they demand when they walk by the tail and meow capriciously in the morning? Here is what one of them thinks, a black rascal with a white paw.
It took a black kitten named Nero only six weeks to become the head of the farm and earn the respect of all its inhabitants. Nero is not afraid of anyone or anything, and therefore receives the second part of his name - Corleone, which means "Lion's Heart".
A book by a German writer tells this and many other cat thoughts and worries. Thanks to his intelligence and ingenuity, the common village cat not only received an unusual name, but also made several significant changes in its feline destiny. The story that tells us about the adventures of Nero Corleone is written in easy, extremely simple language, which makes it understandable to readers of all ages. The illustrations created by the artist Quint Buchholz emphasise the lively and warm atmosphere of the story.
Elke Heidenreich has won several literary prizes for her book on the life of a cat.

Хороша, добра та світла дитяча книжка, про чорного бешкетника - кота Неро Карлеоне, підкорила моє серце. Буде цікава як для дітей, так і для батьків, які люблють книги. Хоробрий та войовничий шибенек зі своїми витівками і коментарями, не раз дасть привід для сміху читачам. Але не зважаючи на свої витівки, в книзі він також показаний хорошим і дбайливим другом, який завжди віддано допомагає своїй сестрі Розі, хоч при цьому, дуже багато бурчить а іноді й свариться з нею) Мені з синомбуло дуже цікаво читати про пригоди та витівки Неро. Можу порекомендувати книгу всім хто любить читати, має дітей, та/або любить котів)
