Cats

Great book for any cat lover author of "Hobo Finds A Home"

Once there was a little girl who wanted a kitten!

Elizabeth Koda-Callan is a designer, illustrator, and best-selling children's book author. She lives in New York City with her cat named Cinnamon. She has beautifully illustrated a story of a little girl who's dream comes true. On the front cover, a silver cat charm is worn on a silver chain by "the little girl." This charm is real and can be removed. My nieces have two adorable kittens and we all love cats, so we enjoy reading books about cats, cats and more cats. I found this book was an excellent way to teach young girls the responsibility of taking care of a cat or kittens. "The little girl" in the story is given the responsibility of looking after her neighbours cat. Soon she learns that cats don't come when called. She has to develop a certain degree of patience in order to wait for the silver tabby named Clover to learn to like her. She discovers that cats love to chase things and soon she and Clover are the best of friends. At the end of the story, "the little girl" finds that her patience pays off. When she returns to see Clover and bring her a gift, Clover in fact has a gift for "the little girl." I loved this book because it teaches and entertains. ~The Rebecca Review
