About this book

A tortoiseshell cat with a growing family gives Johnny and Rosy Chapman the best part of a summer visit to their uncle's home in Mendon, Pennsylvania. Eight-year-old Johnny and six-year-old Rosy are delighted to find six newborn kittens, along with older cats and another pair of little ones. Their affection soon becomes a practical project when Mammy Tittleback chooses a nest under a pile of fence rails and Johnny decides to build a house for the cats.

Helen Hunt Jackson makes the children's arrangements as important as the animals themselves: separate rooms, fixed milk pans and gentle lessons about where each family belongs. Juniper, who prefers to roam between rooms, provides a comic challenge to their careful plans. Presented as a true story of seventeen cats, this children's tale offers close observations of pets and a picture of young caretakers learning to turn enthusiasm into patient attention.
