About this book

A hungry six-year-old boy falls asleep on a doorstep, and a working man offers him food and a place to stay. Dick's new home brings hard work and harsh treatment from a girl in the household. His closest companion becomes a gray cat he rescues from a group of boys. Mary Ellis tells this version of the Dick Whittington tale through simple words and short exchanges, making the boy's troubles easy for beginning readers to follow.

The cat's warm presence, a bell heard at dawn, and the memory of Dick's mother give the story its emotional focus. Prayer and better conduct shape the boy's hopes, while a visitor named Jack introduces the possibility of trade across the sea. Written with single-syllable words of no more than four letters, the tale combines early reading practice with lessons about kindness, honesty, and faith. It offers a glimpse of how children's stories once taught reading and moral habits together.
