"This story features photos of extremely detailed sets housing the characters, a young girl and the shy, stray kitty she keeps trying to tempt inside out of the cold. A beautiful story of the rewards of patience and love of all creatures, even those that may not be easy to love." --Kelley Drahushuk, The Spotty Dog, Hudson, NY
