1-3New York Review Children's Collection series.
This collection of five of the thirteen stories Averill wrote about Jenny Linsky, a plucky little black cat whose bright red scarf gives her courage, is a welcome reissue. With endearingly simple illustrations, the stories can be easily read by second graders and enjoyed by children as young as four.
