Deftly-written and dashingly-drawn, but not a lot of meat on the bones.

The comfortable older cat whose territory is invaded by a rambunctious kitten in Charlotte Voake's Ginger is a kitten himself in this story, living a cold and hungry life: scrounging for food in garbage cans, sleeping in a patch of weeds, at the bottom of a garden. And then one day, he finds a
I enjoyed this second book - a prequel of sorts - devoted to Ginger's story, not least because I'm a sucker for any tale in which a homeless and neglected feline finds a home and a family! I liked the gentleness of the narrative, and the non-preachy way that the author demonstrated the need for patience, when interacting with stray animals: that sometimes it will take a long time to win their trust and affection. The illustrations, done in watercolor and ink, were just as adorable as in the first! All in all, Ginger Finds a Home was a worthy follow-up to the first story, and enough to convince me to track down the third, Ginger and the Mystery Visitor.

A little, hungry ginger cat lives on his own in a patch of weeds at the bottom of a garden, spending all day looking for food in dustbins and drinking from puddles... until one day, the little cat comes back to find something - and someone - waiting for him (amazon)

High level toddler. Great illustrations spur vocabulary in all ages. Not a board book. Longer plot but simple sentences and feelings that are relatable. Read with older children (need not be red all at once).

This is really a 3.5, but since I'm a cat lover and can identify with the cat and the little girl in this story, and since the illustrations are cute, I'm giving it the 4. I will look for the other Ginger books.
