A cat. A seagull. An impossible task. A worldwide bestseller and the subject of a feature film, THE STORY OF A SEAGULL... is finally out in paperback! Her wings burdened by an oil slick, a seagull struggles to the nearest port to lay her final egg. Exhausted, she lands on a balcony where Zorba the cat is sunning himself. She extracts three extraordinary promises from him: that he will watch over the egg, that he will not EAT the egg, and that, when it's time, he will teach the baby gull to fly.

Article About Books The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly
I read this book for the first time as a child, and since then have reread it so many times I've lost count. The story's never failed to move me, as it was not only compelling but also meaningful. It was aimed at children, yes, but it wasn't for children alone, for my mother has also loved it very much. It was about friendship, bravery, accepting of the others' differences and embracing who one really is, all told in the sweet voice of a fat black cat. Though the message are old, the story was



A very beautiful story about a black cat called Zorba and the dying wishes of a seagull.Zorba was left home alone during family's summer holidays. A family's friend come every day to open a can for him and put clean water to his bowl. Kengah know she will die. She is very exhausted and oil-drenched when she falls in the balcony where Zorba is lying under the sunshine. She lays her last precious egg and ask Zorba to teach it to fly...

3.5 STARS I really appreciate some things about this story. I loved the camaraderie and the distinct characters of the port cats. I thought it was great how they are so honorable, especially Zorba, who goes above and beyond to honor the dying wishes of a gull help raise her baby seagull until the baby is able to fly. The conversations between the cats are so much fun, especially when the Col. and SevenSeas are in the mix. Great fun and well realized characters, especially for such a short book.

This is a cute Juv novel about a cat who is entrusted with the care of a seagull egg by the mother seagull who is dying after being caught in an oil spill. The cat promises to take care of the egg, not to eat the chick when it hatches and to teach it to fly.Kind of a feel-good animal story.

One of the most touching books I've read hitherto! In the end I was full with tears because the seagull it's a part of anyone of us, a part of our innermost reality. Luis Sepulveda has an abudantly competent wit and expertise in expressing feelings and ideas!

A beautiful story beautifully illustrated. Just loved it and will definitely read it again and again.
