With Lynea Lattanzio. Animal sanctuary owner Lattanzio's refuge for hundreds of cats is described from the perspective of one "very lucky kitten" named Mittens. Vivid photographs depict the animals' daily activities: eating, playing, exploring, napping. The text is overly cutesy but does convey some information. A brief afterword provides more information about the author (a Today show correspondent), the photographer, and the sanctuary itself.

The soulful, devoted eyes of a friendly brown puppy introduce the theme of animal rescue. Teenage author Jackson adopts Dixie from Aunt Mary's Doghouse and writes about the experience. Close-up photos of Dixie combined with easy-to-read (though very bland) text make this book accessible.
