However, he is allergic to jasmine, the city's nickname sake. Great for reading out loud, and not a bad choice for multicultural reading."-Booklist, "In Damascus, Haroun the cat relishes his life sleeping in a courtyard and participating in moonlight karaoke with other cats. Kaadan illustrates this whimsical tale with bright, bold colors of pink, blue, and green, and plenty of adorable goggle eyes.
After the townspeople sadden because the beautiful, fragrant smell is gone from their city, Haroun removes the bones, and the curse is lifted. This angers the jasmine spirit, who then punishes Haroun with a mustache made of jasmine! Now the poor kitty can't escape the smell.
So he devises a plan to quell the smell, hiding his old stinky fish and chicken bones at the base of every jasmine plant. It makes him sneeze, and he can't sleep with all that smell. Everyone loves the scent of blooming jasmine-except Haroun. The problem is, everywhere Haroun goes, the smell of jasmine follows.
Everyone there loves him, pets him, and feeds him treats. Haroun loves living in his city of Damascus. "Kaadan presents a charming tale of a naughty kitty who learns a valuable lesson.
