Six Dinner Sid

Product Information

Sitty had a strong personality and presence (like my child), and I sometimes found tins of real cat food in my supermarket trolley. Inga Moore has beautifully depicted two British streets. One street contrasts with the other, in a didactic kind of way to be fair — in Aristotle Street the neighbours don’t talk to each other, whereas in Pythagoras Place, one street over, they do. Sid has six owners, lives in six houses and has six dinners a day. Life is just about purrfect . . . Sid is a cat who is addicted to having six meals a day and glories in this lifestyle. Manipulative, persuasive and a charmer he has wrapped everybody round his little paw - each owner believes that Sid belongs to them only... until the day he is found out! This is a funny story of a Sid the cat who unbeknown to the residents of Aristotle Street has six different owners who all feed him dinner... Sid clearly has an appetite.

Sid the cat lives at number one Aristotle Street. He also lives at number two, number three, number four, number five, and number six. A very popular story with children and cat lovers. Sid is one of the boldest and cheekiest of the many picture book cats. And now, my father has died, and his widower returned to the land of his birth, leaving Pippa and Katie Cat needing a new home. Neighbours were popping in daily, but the cats were spending more time away from home, probably seeking human company. Years later, when my cat-loving child moved to a shared house with uni friends, a cat they dubbed Shia LaFluff often came in through the window. Wary of creating a Sid situation, they offered cuddles, play, and water, but never food.

Delightful story and pictures. The silo mentality of the inhabitants of Aristotle street is exploited by the eponymous cat to score six dinners every day - at some psychic cost as he must remember six distinct names and identities, but the illustrations show him becoming pleasingly plump at the end of the day so the stress of performing the different roles required of him does not seem too overwhelming but perhaps that stress does precipitate the cough that exposes the dangers of the Aristotelian approach to life and brings to an end one phase of Sid's heroic life, dedicated to the pursuit of life, liberty and six dinners a day and the rejection of the bourgeois anthropocentrism of the Aristotelians. The Numicon Shapes can be explored in a variety of different ways to encourage children to learn about number. They can also be used in counting and calculation activities.

Like most cats I’ve known, Sid in all of his/her forms is utterly driven by food. It’s amazing he is not more chunky. Moore keeps him slim so that she can emphasis his bloated belly after his six meals. OPPONENT We couldn’t find Pippa anywhere in or out, but Katie took an instant liking to her potential new humans, and they to her. She went home with them and settled very contentedly, immediately.

Numicon Shapes are a handy resource for number activities with young children. Children learn to identify each Numicon Shape and associate it with a number.
