This sweet children's book takes a classic format, with each page building on the previous page a la The House that Jack Built. In this version, however, the story is about a community coming together to rescue a stray kitten and find it a home. The story isn't just about a kitten, it's about all the people who work together to make sure the kitten is safe. Charming and heartwarming!

Aw, so sweet! A story about kindness, not a kitten. But kind of also about a kitten

These cumulative stories can be big flops or huge hits, and this one knocked it out of the park. The story of the neighborhood coming together to rescue a small kitten and find it a home was super sweet and the illustrations were perfect. It was a great "cat" book and also a perfect book for talking about neighbors and community.
