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
Customer Review: great stories for young children
Great stories for young chldren told from the perspective of an orphan black cat, Jenny Linsky. Like young children, who are inexperienced and often intimidated by challenges, Jenny tries to do her best for herself, her owner, and her new cat friends. Delightful, gentle stories I highly recommend.
Customer Review: We all cheered for Jenny
My seven year-old daughter received this book as a gift. I read it to her and my five year-old son. We just couldn't get enough of Jenny. The stories are heart-warming and old-fashioned yet children today can relate to Jenny's fears and triumphs. From her anxiety about not being worthy of the Cat Club, through her triumph at her first party, to her generosity as she adopts two brothers, we couldn't help but cheer for Jenny! I am a 1st and 2nd grade reading teacher. So, after reading the book to my children, I took it straight to school for my first graders. The students enjoyed it and I used it as a teaching tool. This book is a classic that should be on your bookshelf!
