Dear Stray. Kirsten Hubbard. Illustrated by Susan Gal. 2023. [September] 32 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: Dear stray,
Some kittens are born with extra claws, like you.
My mom doesn't understand why,
with so much fluff and fuzz and floof to choose from,
I picked sticky, scratchy, spiky you.
Premise/plot: A little girl bonds with her new kitten. The book shows page by page how these two are similar. Both are a little 'wild' and 'prickly' and hard-to-get-to-know.
My thoughts: I really LOVED the illustrations. The illustrations are so expressive. I enjoyed the story as well. I liked seeing the slow progress of the relationship. I think this is realistic.
