What's Pumpkin Cat About
On a stormy night in October, a ginger cat finds refuge in the “Returned Books” bin of the local library. Rescued by two kind librarians, Pumpkin Cat makes a home for herself in the large children’s room. But the wooden sheep and the sock monkey never talk, and once the librarians leave for the day, Pumpkin Cat is lonely. Searching for what is missing, she makes a new friend in a neighborhood girl and receives a Halloween gift that fills her heart. Ann Turner’s tender story, paired with Amy June Bates’s cozy illustrations, explores the idea that sometimes for a home to be found, a home must be given. Ann Turner is the author of several books for children, including Red Flower Goes West, illustrated by Dennis Nolan. She lives with her family in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.
