Emma loves going to Summerhill Stables for her riding lessons. One day she arrives to find that everyone is really worried. Tiggy, the stable cat, has disappeared. Emma hurts her ankle during her lesson and goes to sit down in the barn until she feels better. There she hears a strange squeaking noise and discovers that Tiggy has had three kittens! But the riding school can't look after so many cats - what will happen to them all? A heart-warming read from best-selling author Holly Webb, perfect for fans of Magic Animal Friends or Animal Arc.

Norėjosi kažkokio lengvo ir užkliuvo akys už šitos knygos.
Tai istorija apie mergaitę, kuri prisijaukino pusiau laukinį kačiuką ir įsigijo naują draugą bei šeimos narį. Graži, jauki ir miela istorija. (Gaila, kad mano vaikystėje nebuvo tokių gražių knygų)

3.5⭐️ so cute Sammy’s progress throughout the book was so sweet Emma was adorable! The beautiful pictures every 2-5 pages were so pretty I love the way they look such a cool art style. Such an easy read and would recommend it to anyone who likes kid-ish cat books with a few pictures (not every page) and just want an easy sweet read. (Mainly read since I’ve had tbis book since (2017 or 2016)

Hi everyone, this book is amazing.

I love the progress of Sammy in the house and how he gently learns bit by bit even when he is scared or makes a mistake. I love Sammy. ❤

As a cat lover and a Holly fangirl this book was a perfect match for me. I found it interesting how pony lover Emma does her best to help care for the kittens and give them a home despite some obstacles. Sammy is adorable! Sophy's illustrations are super cute, and I happily sat staring at the pictures which made me feel I could reach out and pick the cats up. The story is realistic with a very happy ending which seems like Holly's signature ending, if that makes sense. There are heaps of other books in this series so go check them out!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.co...
