I adore Eleanor Estes--She wrote precious stories that take us back to a different world.

Surprisingly, I thought this book was awful. Previously, I read its predecessor, Ginger Pye, which was a Newbery Medal winner. Well, this one was not and it is clear why. The plot was so loosely constructed I found many of the chapters absolutely unnecessary which really should never happen in a book, much less a book for children. It was, altogether, boring. It's a shame because Eleanor Estes is a really great author and I love most of her novels. But with this one, in my opinion, she should have taken a break from her typewriter.

Adorable. Again, reading as an adult is fun; so many easter eggs (if you will) that I missed the first time around.

I love all the Eleanor Estes books, but particularly those about the Pyes and Moffats. This one is no exception. This is a charming and sweet tale, and a great follow up to "Ginger Pye," Estes Newbery Award winning book. This is a great read for both children and adults - kids will enjoy the adventure of the people and the pets, and adults will enjoy the charm and nostalgia for a simpler time.

Cute & sweet story! I think we still prefer Ginger Pye best. ;-)

Another great book by Eleanor Estes, we laughed a lot with this story. Pinky is by far the most interesting member of the family! "She is adorable, lovable, enchanting and fascinating. A whole book could be written about her and has been. Look in the library for it. Don't skip a word of it, it's all true." -a quote from Pinky Pye about Pinky Pye from the book Pinky Pye.

What better story for someone called Featherpaw than the story of a kitten who can typewrite?! Her story is very sweet. But this is not only Pinky's story. It starts, in fact, with a puffin, marches past the New York Cat, Gracie, Ginger, the smartest dog in the world, Uncle Bennie, who is turning four, and leads up to what is In The Eaves, which Pinky reveals at the end.

I loved this book. Like it's prequel, Ginger Pye, it's a feel-good book oriented towards younger children but I'd say that even an adult would find it worth their time.
