First, I must point out I am a huge anthropomorphism fan. Second I am a huge fan of Sarah Beth Durst. Now both of these items are relative to my enthusiasm
for the style and the author not to my less than diminutive size. This is a book written for children and I am
in close contact with my inner child, ergo I love it. Zoe finds a very small kitten and the story
begins there but it is sly in it’s introduction of magic to the plot.
For me the message of this book is that you need to accept
who you are and to be happy in your own skin.
I have no idea if that was Durst’s message but it is what I felt. I like that message. I like the fact the Durst is encouraging
kids to be comfortable with their self-identity.
In addition, the story is captivating and captures the insecurities
of being a child and the fears that your truths will not be seen or noticed.
This is a story about a young girl, her best friend and the
marvelous cat she adopts.
I highly recommend it.
BTW none of my cats were ever as polite as Pipsqueak
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
