The Trouble with Cats

This is a delightful book, full of fun but also providing a realistic and sympathetic view of a third grader as she adjusts to a new home and step dad. Coping with cats and their pranks while fitting into a new home and family are a challenge for Holly. Her settling into a new life style is presented with warmth and understanding. A reader of any age can share and understand each development. The book is a real treasure.

In all honesty, I think this is a wonderful book for children. And even though I'm well past 40, I still read and enjoy children's books. I must admit I have a special interest here, as I have cats. In fact, I have the four cats mentioned in the foward... I think Martha has really captured the peope/cat interactions, and how they just seem to intertwine into one's daily life. And, as always, Martha's got a real take on what it's like to be a kid these days.
