Customer Reviews

Nice book

This is a nice book for kids- it has lift the flap surprises. It is one of my daughter's favorites and I love black cats!

Reading Room

Our 18 month old granddaughter has dubbed this as her favorite bathroom reading. The family has 3 black cats, and this book became an instant favorite.

nice story, lame lift flaps

This is a short story about a cat who has trouble finding a home, but finds a loving one where she is needed in the end. The illustrations are clean, simple, and colorful. As far as lift flap books go, this one was disappointing because it didn't have them on every page.
