Bookroo's summary

Bartholomew receives a kitten and must learn the delicate balance of play and care. His rough approach leads to challenges, but with guidance, he discovers the true meaning of gentleness. Can he adapt and become the nurturing friend his pet needs?

From the publisher

When George gives Bartholomew a kitten, he tells him to be gentle with her. But Bartholomew wants to play with her his own way - which, of course, is too rough. Will he ever find out how to look after his pet? Only after George’s firm intervention.
