The ones we have are originally Sean's, from when we lived in an apartment in San Francisco, and he loved them, so it's fun to get to reread them now a decade later.<BR/><BR/>I hardly ever hear anyone talk about C T Newberry --- that's why I mention books on the blog, to get to "book talk" with someone else who likes the ones we like : )Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374272000644968446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15843479.post-67502122429250032642009-02-03T03:53:00.000-08:002009-02-03T03:53:00.000-08:00Oh, I remember Clare Turlay Newberry!

We had two: Smudge, about kittens learning to climb out of their box, and I forget the name of the other but it was, like you say, about a boy who loses a pet but finally finds it (maybe that was Mittens). Oh, and when we first moved to New York we used to get one called April's Kitten, about a girl who lived in a tiny apartment (like we had just moved to) and still slept in her crib because there wasn't any room.<BR/><BR/>Do you know the Meindert de Jong books? I hope I'm spelling that right. If Paddy likes Newberry, he might like Shadrach when he's just a little older. It was a big favorite of C.Z.'s.<BR/><BR/>Of course, we like the others in your post, too, but I had forgotten all about these, so it was pleasant to reremember!Laura Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168905598871608315noreply@blogger.com
