A Cat Named Swan by Holly Hobbie -- ADVISABLE

Hobbie, Holly A Cat Named Swan. PICTURE BOOK. Random House, 2017. $17.99. Content: G.

This tiny kitten thought he had a good life until his mother and siblings left him behind. Now he is scrounging in alleyways, looking for food and avoiding the dangers of dogs and fast bicycles. But when he is adopted by a family, he learns how sweet life can truly be.

This cozy, feel-good story will likely inspire many to seek out their next pets at a shelter rather than at a pet store or breeder. The illustrations are adorable and perfectly capture the kitten's exuberant personality. All in all a lovely and satisfying book.
