| 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 |
Contributor Bio(s): Estes, Eleanor: - Eleanor Estes (1906-1988) grew up in West Haven, Connecticut, which she renamed Cranbury for her classic stories about the Moffat and Pye families. A children's librarian for many years, she launched her writing career with the publication of The Moffats in 1941. Two of her outstanding books about the Moffats--Rufus M. and The Middle Moffat--were awarded Newbery Honors, as was her short novel The Hundred Dresses. She won the Newbery Medal for Ginger Pye. |
