Book Description

Release Date: Nov 30 2003 | Series: New York Review Children's Collection
In Greenwich Village an orphaned black cat lives happily with her master, a sea captain. Still, the gentle Jenny Linsky would like nothing more than to join the local Cat Club, whose members include Madame Butterfly, an elegant Persian, the high-stepping Macaroni, and stately, plump Mr. President. But can she overcome her fears and prove that she, too, has a special gift? Join Jenny and her friends, including fearless Pickles the Fire Cat, on their spirited downtown adventures and discover why The Atlantic Monthly called Jenny " a personality ranking not far below such giants as Peter Rabbit."

AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES, THIS COLLECTION INCLUDES ESTHER AVERILL'S FIVE FAVORITE CAT CLUB STORIES

Review

"Esther Averill's collection of Jenny Linsky books deserves special mention. ...Told in clear, simple language that will appeal to younger children, all of these stories are delightful and festooned with simple illustrations every few pages that enhance, but never dominate, the melodious text." --The San Francisco Chronicle

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice cat book for kids Aug 13 2009
By L. kennedy
Format:Hardcover
My 6 year old daughter and I are enjoying reading this book together. It is a very cute book of stories about a little black cat. The cat characters are funny and the illustrations are very nice too. If you have cats as pets you will relate to alot of it. There are alot of good themes in it too like being brave, and being a good friend.

Although this is an older book the references are still pretty timeless.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic! Nov 14 2009
By Shades
Format:Hardcover
I was so excited to find this book on amazon. I'd been searching for it for years after I'd read it once in a library and never found it again. I was even more delighted to learn that it is a whole series. This is such a great story, along with all of its other books. I still enjoy reading it today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic....Still Feb 29 2008
By T. Swan
Format:Hardcover
I remember reading these stories back in 1975, when I was just learning to read at age five. Now my daughter, the same age, is learning her words. These stories are written simply, yet eloquently. The text and pictures are uncomplicated, but erapture the reader regardless of age. I only wish there were more in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jenny Linsky taught me to read.
There's a time most of us probably don't remember when we make the conceptual leap from looking at a bunch of letters on a page to reading. Jenny did this for me. Read more
