A collection of three gorgeous kitten stories to treasure in one book, from best-selling author Holly Webb.
The Secret Kitten: Lucy can't help but feel lonely when she moves in with her gran. She wishes she could have a pet, but Gran isn't keen on animals. When Lucy falls in love with a stray kitten, where will it go if she can't find anyone to take her in?
The Brave Kitten: Helena enjoys helping out at the vet's surgery. Then one day, a kitten is rushed in, having been injured by a car. Helena helps to care for Caramel, but what will happen if his owner can't be found?
Sammy the Shy Kitten: Emma loves going to the stables for her riding lessons. One day she arrives to find that Tiggy, the stable cat, has had three kittens! But the riding school can't look after so many cats - so what will happen to them all?
Holly Webb stories are always lovely, and this one is no exception. These three stories share a theme of semi wild cats and the little girls who love them. Holly has a gift for writing little girls and making them seem real, and even the sections from the animal's point of view are very realistic.
I also love the illustrations. Sophy Williams draws fantastic animals; my favourite illustration from this book is a picture of Caramel, pressed up against a door and trying to sniff through it. It's exactly the way my cats would act, completely true to life.
(And yes, Holly, I may have teared up once or twice while reading...)
This is the perfect addition to your collection, or an excellent volume to start your collection with.
