What's Pinky Pye About
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!
