Maggie Adopts a Kitten: (It really happened!)

by Marci Kladnik, Stephanie Piro (Illustrator)

Overview

AWARD-WINNING BOOK! The delightful true story of a Scottish Terrier, Maggie, that was adopted by a woman who rescued feral cats and kittens. Maggie became a "mom" when a feral kitten imprinted on her and was instantly tamed. Maggie, with "her right ear that didn't stand up the way a Scottie's ears are supposed to", is the star of the story as she happily mothers the kitten, Barney, while the other cats, Punkin and Dodo, weave in and out of the story. Photos of the actual characters are included bringing reality to the story while the illustrations bring it to life in a fun way that appeal to child and adult alike. The book ends with a very short lesson and quiz about cats and dogs to help teach children about pet care and pet adoption.

Editorial Reviews

“Cats and dogs aren’t generally the best of friends. But in this heartwarming story of a little lost kitten who’d rather spend time with a pooch than a puddy, readers will discover that friendships aren’t based on what you look like, but how you act. A sweet little book with a big lesson.” –Allia Zobel Nolan, author of 150+ titles, including the bestsellers, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU: A Book about Acceptance and Cat Confessions: A Kitty Come Clean Tell All Book.

“It’s beautiful—truly a very sweet story.” Gwen Cooper, New York Times bestselling author of Homer's Odyssey and My Life in a Cat House."

“I love this beautiful little tale and its whimsical drawings. Dogs and cats have a lot to teach us, especially this pair! If the Upliftingness scale contains 100 points, I rank Maggie’s tale at 110.” –Paul Glassner, past editor (for 25 years) of Our Animals, SF/SPCA’s magazine
