PS
A stray cat unexpectedly finds a home in this pleasant story. Unlike most strays in stories, Ginger doesn't long for a home, and it takes time for him to overcome his fear of the little girl trying to befriend him. The book is well designed with cartoonlike watercolors outlined in black set against a plain, off-white background. The text, which is printed in a very large typeface, contributes to the clean and simple appearance.
