Publisher Description: An ALA Notable Book "A captivating story, told with loving tenderness, whimsical humor, suspense, it has all the special magic that is Eleanor Estes' trademark. . . . Don't miss it." --Chicago Tribune Meet Pinky, a furious black kitten who adopts the Pye family. The Pyes have some of the smartest pets around--there's Ginger the intellectual dog, and Gracie the clever old cat--but Pinky is more than smart enough to earn a place in the Pye's hearts. She can box with Ginger, play games with Mr. Pye, and--Rachel and Jerry can hardly believe their eyes--even type out her life story |
