Kaspar Prince of Cats Chapter 1 Comprehension Whole Class Reading pack has differentiated questions and activities to be used in a Whole Class Reading session based on the first chapter of this novel by Michael Morpurgo. In Chapter 1 The Coming of Kaspar, we meet Johnny Trott – a lowly bell-boy who works at the Savoy Hotel in London – and Countess Kandinsky who has come to stay at the hotel while she sings in the opera at London’s Covent Garden. The Countess has brought a feline companion with her – Prince Kaspar. The Countess asks Johnny to look after the cat while she is at her rehearsals and Johnny reluctantly agrees, not realising how the arrival of the Countess and Prince Kaspar will change his life completely… We recommend using this novel with Year 5 or Year 6.
