A surprisingly humorous story of choosing and being chosen, this picture book is an ode to cats and the people who love them.
I have three cats—Big, Little, and Middle—in charge of my backyard.
But that one over there? She’s not mine. Not at all
.
When a new cat appears in her backyard, a young girl isn't sure what to do. The new kitty is a little smelly and covered in fleas
—
who would want a cat like
that
? Besides she already has three cats, and they're not too keen on this newcomer either.
But day by day and season by season, the new cat comes back, and the girl and her kitties warm to the new furry face in their yard. Before they know it, the new cat isn't so new
she's part of the family.
