Jenny & the Cat Club

JENNY & THE CAT CLUB by Esther Averill is a true classic, reissued by the New York Review Children's Collection, and one of our favorites no matter what time of year! In Greenwich Village a gentle little black cat lives with her master, a sea captain. She would like nothing more than to join the local Cat Club, but she is too shy. Will her new friends (and her red scarf!) help her become brave enough to take on her fears? Discover the world of Jenny and her friends, including the wonderful Pickles the Fire Cat among others, and find out why The Atlantic Monthly called Jenny " a personality ranking not far below such giants as Peter Rabbit."  Jenny is just perfect to read aloud as a family with 4-7 year olds, or for young independent readers.
