Dizzy Lizzie by Kat E. Erikson

5.0

I volunteered with a cat rescue for many years, so a book about rescue kittens was sure to steal my heart. This book is the imagined story of how the author's two cats came to live with her.

Dizzy Lizzie is the runt of the litter and struggles against her eight siblings to nurse on Mama. One day, a wrecking ball comes through the kitties' home, and the workers take the kittens away, leaving Mama behind. A kind lady bottle feeds the kittens until they are adopted one by one. This story paints a realistic picture of how many kittens come to find themselves in shelters and rescues.

The pictures are adorable, and though it is very sad when the kittens are taken from Mama, it is a happy story overall. I plan to return to volunteering one day once my daughter is older, and I look forward to sharing this book with her.

I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial.
