The Secret Kitten

The Secret Kitten (Pet Rescue Adventures)
by Holly Webb (Author) and Sophy Williams (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Alicia falls in love with a stray kitten whom she names Catkin. She even makes Catkin a home in the greenhouse in their yard. But how long can she keep the kitten a secret?

Snippet: Very slowly, Alicia reached out and petted the kitten’s striped head with the tips of her fingers–the fur was soft, almost silky. And then the kitten purred, so loudly that Alicia couldn’t help giggling. The noise seemed too big for such a tiny creature.
