I am an Evangeline Auld fan and this is just an example of why I love her books.  Gatsby The Great is the story of a cat who loved to over-indulge and as a result he became Gatsby the Fat.  After a rather embarrassing encounter with a cat-flap Gatsby came to the realization that he would have to lose weight however he was not a fan of dieting and exercise.  After meeting Holly - the cute little cat next door - Gatsby made the decision to lose his excess weight and with the help of Holly and his owner Mrs. Meridew Gatsby was able to make the changes in his lifestyle that lead to him becoming Gatsby the Great.  The lessons are intricately woven within the story and yet they stand out so well.  A wonderful book for young children and I recommend it to every parent whose children are faced with lifestyle changes.  With the help of our family and friends we can accomplish anything.
