Pinky's parents have called a family meeting. They want to decide what kind of pet they will have. Pinky wants a dog; his little sister Amanda wants a cat. The parents also vote for a cat. So the very next day the family gets a kitten. Although Amanda gives the kitten hugs and says it is hers, the kitten has other plans. It's not long before Pinky and the playful kitten share a secret--one that could hurt Amanda's feelings. What should he do? James Howe's Pinky and Rex books are praised by parents and teachers alike for their ability to charm young readers. These chapter books teach gentle lessons about family relationships and friendship, and narrator Christina Moore brings just the right tone to each story.

" So-so book, the story was a classic book about pets and learning to love them. I did get confused about the boy's name being Pinky and the girl's name being Rex so I thought that might be confusing for new readers. "
" I thought that this book was alright. Children can identify with what its like to get a pet and how to deal with things when they don't go our way. "
