Review Quotes

Jasmine is a tenacious and irrepressible young girl who refuses to sit idly by when an animal is in need. Comparisons to James Herriot are apt as this story delves deeply into the intricacies of kitten care...Occasional black-and-white illustrations will help pique reluctant readers' interest and the fast-paced text is lively.
